Inspiration: Jeroen Toirkens

Photography. Something which seems to be a part of my life at the moment. With my minor: photojournalism, I get to know a lot amazing photographers. Last Wednesday Jeroen Toirkens did a lecture for students in Utrecht. (student tour) We went there with our class and as he won a 'Silver Camera' in the Netherlands and another Worldpress price. I was curious what is his work like.

He was going talk about his photo serie: Nomadslife. And what an impression he left! This photo report is beautiful! I can't say anything else about it. It took him 12 years to take all these photos and I loved all of them. There wasn't one photo I didn't like. I immediately subscribed to a list to get his book. (as it's sold out) And yes I'm willing to pay 40 euros for it. The photos I selected are some of the best ones but you should definitely check out his website. I still dream away when I watch these photos.

He also made some videos for this project, shot on a Canon 5D Mark II on which he won a Canon Price. They're as beautiful as some of his photos. So definitely check these out as well. I can't wait for his documentary, all though that might take a while...
