‘Twins’

Peter & Mick posed with the 'Twin' work for me for a try-out.
'Twins' isn't speacking about external similarity, but about the inner equality.
These 'Twins' are soulmates.

Test photo Imre and her daughter(s)

Imre will be photographed connected with her two daughters. Today one wasn't there, so we faked one. But this is how the photo approx. will be.

Second photoday, Peter & Mick.

Today we made the 'hart to hart photo', for "Family ties". Models of today are Peter and his son Mick.
The last photo is a computer try-out of the project.

First photo day ’ Family ties”

Today we made the first photo for my project 'Family ties'. In the project I will be working together with my boyfriend Edwin Roelofs, who is photographer. My very close friend and great teacher of working with hair, Harold Mertens, make-up and hair artist. And Cees & Ronja, husband and daughter of my friend Carina, who will be my models for this picture.

New project ‘Family ties’.

This project is called 'Family ties', a project about parents and children.
It is about emotions involving unconditional love and trust versus rejecting and the will to be free.

Learning new skills.

For my project 'Family ties' I had to learn to make hair patches which seem to grow on various parts of the body. So Harold, a friend of mine who is a hair- and make-up artist, taught me how to make real wig/hair pieces.
This technique opens a lot of possibilities for other works. I made some funny jewellery pieces as well. This ring is made from my boyfriend Edwin's hair. Because the hair is put in the tulle, the ring can get wet and therefore be worn casually.
