Inspired by vermeer

Made in a Dutch museum in Delft. The light and athmosphere hints to painter Vermeer.

Ton (1950) was born in Breda, The Netherlands.

As early as the nineteen seventies Ton was taking a keen interest in photography. After discovering the work of Jan Saudek in the nineties he decided no longer to listen to the opinions of other people. Instead he chose to follow his own way and ideas. This resulted in an unusual and surreal approach to his photography. Ton creates with his models colourful scenes vibrating with a subtle emotional radiance. In contrast his black and whites are disturbing.
