Concept

John Duurkoop (1952) has lived on the North Sea coast all his life. The sea, the dunes, the beach, and the beautiful cloud formations are often a subject in his photos. Beach life in all seasons is a source of inspiration for him. John Duurkoop started shooting seriously at the age of 18, inspired by his father, a not without merit amateur photographer. In his early twenties, John Duurkoop started developing and printing his films himself in his darkroom, where he also experimented with different development and printing techniques. Professionally, however, he went to work in the IT industry and photography became a serious hobby for him. A few years ago he left the IT industry and is now a full-time photographer again. His love for analog techniques led him to start a small company in addition to photography, which specializes in restoring old (glass) negatives, slides, and photos. His IT background is often recognizable by the digital techniques used in his photography work.

Biography

I have been a photographer since the early ’70s. Learned to develop and print in the army during my conscription. Essentially, I was a dedicated 35mm and 120mm film camera user since 1978. Nowadays I am using Sony full-frame camera next to a Sony P&S camera when traveling light.

In my pictures, you will find a mix of being mesmerized by light & colors and being impressed by perspective and manmade objects.

Living in The Hague in the Netherlands, near the North Sea is a great advantage to be inspired by the seascapes, the harbors, and the beach life. All my photos on TRiCERA are digitally available, but also available as high-quality prints with the TRiCERA printing service.
