Tulips

Born 1947 in Den Helder, The Netherlands 1964 ? 1968 Art school department textile. Since 1969 Exhibitions in several galleries and museum in Holland. Since my 16th I am busy with photography. First with my moms Exacta and later with my own Practical and later a Nikon FE2. I did print my photographs in my own darkroom. To day I am working with film and also with some digital cameras and last year I am interested in some alternative processes. For several years I used my photographs as design for my woven wall hangings later photography was the only art form within I expressed myself. The subjects I most love are structures, nature, the seashore and harbours. Last years I worked on a series of flowers and especially the fading beauty of tulips. An other series I am workin on is the series ?Waves?. This is a series of photographs about the move of the sea. Depending on the light the sea is changing of colour. Sophia Koopman
