Holland

Well-known Dutch landscape photographer Martin Kers looks at our environment differently than most of us ever do. That is why he prefers to call himself an outdoor photographer. A heightened sense of symmetry, colour and contrast, combined with a remarkable eye for detail, enables him to successfully capture mundane subjects in suprising ways time and time again. Once he sets off with his camera he seems to spot more than the average passer-by. Although Kers has travelled across the globe, his heart only truly opens in the landscape of Holland. In Holland he weaves together villages, rivers, landscapes and the North Sea in a single book. The often tranquil villages of Holland are exquisitely combined with its landscapes and meandering rivers. And even though they may be recognisable to many of us, we do not always notice them.
