Interview Creative Review

A while ago, I was interviewed by Emily Gosling, for an article in Creative Review. Subject: silence, solitude and tranquility. And how I, as a photographer, contribute to this visual trend, that’s in the spotlight at Adobe Stock.

By the interview I was more or less forced to take a good look at my creative process. What is it I do exactly, what’s part of the process is conscious and what is more subconscious? And how can I visualize successful photo theme’s, ideas and concepts even better? Fun, informative and inspiring. I hope to be able to work with all of this on several locations in the French and Swiss Alps in the coming six month’s!

Adobe Stock spotlight about me:

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background?

SW: Although I’m the son of a photographer, I never really got in photography until I went to Art Academy Minerva in Groningen. I studied illustration and took a photography class, as well. It wasn’t until much later that I started taking photography seriously. In 2005, I went on a long hike in Sarek, in Swedish Lapland, with two friends. It was an awesome trip and I took a lot of photos. Different outdoor magazines took an interest in the photos, and that was my entry into outdoor photography. And I’m still passionate about it until this very day!

The photo I had submitted to the photo contest ‘Outdoor & Adventure’ of NatGeoFoto was declared winner by the jury! Wow, obviously I am happy with this prize and with the words of the expert jury! Aart Aarsbergen: ‘alles klopt aan dit beeld, de sterrenhemel, het verlichte tentje omlijst door het berglandschap. Het is een bijzonder sfeervol beeld, technisch in orde, met een evenwichtige compositie.’ Very nice to see this photo published National Geographic Magazine 9 (september 2016) and in the theme special ‘Outdoor & Adventure’ in National Geographic Traveler (expected 8 september 2016). NatGeoNL

In de 50e editie van Columbus Travel, een mega dikke jubileum nummer, staat een fotospread van mij in de rubriek: Hier wil je naar toe. Naar Zweden in dit geval. De foto van is van onze kampeerplek bij de berg Nallo, tijdens de wintertocht begin 2014 die mijn vriendin en ik hier maakten. Andere mooie tochten in dit gebied vind je natuurlijk in mijn Dominicus wandelgids ‘Trekking in Zweden’.
