Kris Van de Vijver
Kris Van de Vijver - I grew up in the 80s listening to new wave and classic rock from the 60s and 70s. In the mid 90s, somebody put a Nikon FE in my hands… this 20-year old camera (at that time) from the 70s was a classic, but what did I know? In 2000 I started backpacking as far away as possible and meanwhile shooting film and slides with my first (simple and second hand) camera, and in 2006, I bought a digital and I also started taking photos when I wasn't travelling. I think my work is eclectic because I have been experimenting with all kinds of techniques and using very different approaches. This has resulted in a portfolio containing a large variety in styles, processing, moods and subjects. The last few years, I'm trying to work more series-based in which content is as important or even more so than the pure aesthetics.
