Whether documenting the city parks of Amsterdam and Rotterdam or the Dutch islands or the Belgium coast, Jeroen Hofman has a particular method: he photographs from up high, standing on an elevated platform.
The trouble of renting a hydraulic hoist for every shoot pays off: seen from a bird’s eye view, the architecture
of the parks, or the vastness and tranquility of the islands, become clearly visible.
For his latest project, ‘Zeeland’, Hofman visited Zeeuws Vlaanderen and Walcheren. If we have to name one photographer who really got the best out of the current situation, it is Jeroen Hofman. While many of us were quietly waiting to see what the future would bring, Jeroen decided to capture the beauty and stillness of the islands and the coastline of Zeeland from a desolate hight on top of a lifting platform. The result: astonishing images of the Dutch landscape with a beauty that we’ve gotten to know from Hofman’s previous series.
