ROLAND VAN BREMEN In His Words: My name is Roland van Bremen. I am a Dutch photographer, 57 years old, married, one daughter and living in a small town in Germany, close to Nijmegen (in the Netherlands) at the Dutch/German border. My working area? The Netherlands, Germany or anywhere in the world where my camera follows me … My journey started with my father being a press photographer, getting me interested in his work and then him becoming my mentor. By that time, there was no digital revolution. You made the picture in your mind - worked your 36 exposures and then had to check your work during the development in the dark room. But I’m certainly not romancing the good old days – in these hectic times, being able to check the result at an instant is very comforting. Still, trying to work as if we have less exposures available rather than unlimited memory cards sharpens your view and results. Digital post processing then finalizes the thing I want to do: create something special. Why I love to work mainly with natural light? It is so challenging - there is no second time around - you will never find the same light setting again – so it also possible to create unique pictures. Photography rewards me with many interesting persons, experiences and the possibility to express my creativity in which there is never a dull moment. For people who want to start with photography or who are just not sure how to continue – believe me: read about it, practice, share, check the work of others and then grow your dream!
