Michaël Boelrijk

People are at their best if they are not intimidated by the camera. Using a telelens makes it intiem without the pose of the subject.

My signature is focusing on facial expression. 
The eyes are the window to emotions.

The surroundings or mise en scene completes the image.

Michaël loves to show his observations. He is an autodidact. By getting a lot of feedback his skills will improve. With Empathy and real interest in human beings he takes mainly pictures of people who do not make a pose. He loves to make a serie of working activities. Michaël's focus is on the elements water, earth and fire. So he makes pictures of sailingmen, landworkers and asian dancers. He prefer not to edit his pictures, even in bad (light) conditions. he prefers not to use artificial light. According to Michaël imperfection has his intrisic valua.
