About Vincent Klijn
Creative Artist
Photographic Background
I studied at the Photographic Academy Amsterdam in the late 1990s. Photography will always remain a big part of my creative life.
Most important for me, when creating images, is utilizing characteristics that make a particular medium stand out from other media. My portfolio includes numerous examples that will illustrate this.
Moving on to other forms of art
In photography I have pretty much achieved all I could ever wish for. Over the last few years my focus has shifted towards drawing and painting.
A new journey, exciting, sometimes scary, but of course just as rewarding.
Having said that, photography still remains a big part of me and new projects still emerge.
Skills
Images speak louder than words, or so they say, so my portfolios tell the real story, but here are some quick indications:

People Say
Words can be Powerful too
Sometimes it is enough to just be quiet and listen
“A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense and is thereby a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.”
“Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.”
“The photographer, even in fashion and portraiture, has to have a standpoint. It's important to know what you stand for, no? Most people just take pictures, but they stand for nothing. They follow trends and don't know why.”
