Hi!

Great to have you here. Let me fill you in about my work.

I am a self taught photographer and designer, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Key element in my photographic work is silence. I visit remote places, but I also try to find ‘silence’ within a photographic framework in urban environments. I discovered a way of ‘seeing through the noise’ which usually leads me to unexpected beauty.

First of all photography is a tool for me to explore the beauty I find myself surrounded with. This is my personal meditative practice. Besides that beauty helps me to establish connections, both internally and with the world around me.

My images are reflections of my personal experiences and processes. I hope they inspire others to stand still and take a closer look at things nearby.

There is a strong relation between my photography and my work in interior architecture. From architecture I have learned to design with light, lines, colors and shapes. I do the same thing when 'creating' an image but in less time and without the meetings. My interiors are often minimalistic and stripped of unnecessary noise, more or less the same as my photographs. To have a peek at my projects visit www.studiojosvandijk.com

I have recently set up a Fine Art Print studio. On my Epson 12-color large format printer I make prints up to 24 inch wide (61cm). If you are an artist who needs printing or framing, please reach out to see if I can help you out. I offer laminating service as well on dibond / acrylic or other materials. Framing options tbd. Visit www.fapstudio.nl or email me if you have a request.

That's it for now, let me know if you have any questions!

Love, Jos
