About the Item
Bastiaan Woudt
Dutch, born 1987
“I like to look at lines, abstractions, structure, and texture. In a portrait, I can be extremely disturbed by color. It distracts me from the essence of someone’s face. In my opinion, because we see color in daily life already, the added value of color in the photo is lost. I like to show something that others might not be able to see and converting it to black and white removes the last bit of reality. I’m not looking for the truth, I want to tell my story.”
Bastiaan Woudt is a Dutch, self-taught, photographer born in 1987. After starting his own photography practice over a decade ago, with no experience or formal training, Woudt has developed into a photographer with his own distinct signature style. Woudt studied the history of photography through devouring photobooks and visiting museums and fairs along with experimenting with modern photography techniques. He was initially inspired by works of some of the twentieth century’s most important photographers such as, Irving Penn, Bill Brandt, and Richard Avedon. He has a strong preference for classic subjects, such as portraits and nudes, and references to illustrious periods from photography can be seen throughout his work such as Surrealism and the documentary photography of the 1960s and 70s. Woudt distinguishes himself with a signature monochromatic style. His photographs display a range of charcoal tones and compositions highlighting lines, textures, and shapes, where light and shadow dance elegantly.
Bastiaan Woudt first attracted acclaim in 2016 when he was awarded the Van Vlissingen Art Foundation Prize which made possible, Karawn, a series of photographs in Morocco. In 2017 Woudt visited Mukono, Uganda where Marie-Stella-Maris, a foundation who supports local drinking water projects, commissioned him to photograph the people of Mukono. In the tradition of Walker Evans, and the Farm Security Administration photographers, Woudt tells a community’s story by focusing on the individual and intimate. Traveling to Mukono, to photograph the water resources in a region with limited access to safe water, Woudt transforms a documentary project into a visual poem. Talismans permeate the series—water jugs, hands—resulting in an allegorical and cohesive body of work distinguished by a blend of classicism and contemporary post-production techniques.
Bastiaan Woudt has published seven books and has been featured in numerous magazines. His photographs have been exhibited in many galleries and museums internationally, such as Fotografiska and Museum Kranenburgh. He also has started his own publishing house- 1605 Publishers, which is a platform for emerging and establish artists, and a publishing house for photographic books and projects.

Bastiaan Woudt (1987, NL) has made a name for himself as a high-end art photographer. Besides raw talent, he owes his rise in the art world to a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial edge. With a camera in hand, he creates monochrome compositions and gives a contemporary spin on the classical. It‘s been a mere ten years since Woudt picked up a camera and found his passion. He replaced formal education with experimentation, photography books and museums. In no time, he was winning international prizes and showcased his work in exclusive galleries. You will find his all or nothing mentality in everything. Bastiaan Woudt: «My inspiration comes from many forms of art, but in particular, the old masters of photography like Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Man Ray, Bill Brandt, all amazing minds. They nailed what it takes to make an interesting image: Dynamics, movement, imperfection, feeling. Besides photography, there are many more ways I get inspired. Paintings, the way the Dutch masters saw the light is extraordinary. I believe that in art photography, you have to create a little dream world: a unique insight into the photographer’s mind. Black and white help to differentiate from reality. I find that color is too distracting.»

Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Brigitte studied at Zurich University and received her MA in Social and Photo History in 1996. In the following years she established herself as an fine art photographer. She moved to New York and received her MFA in Fine Art Photography and Related Media at Parsons The New School of Design in 2007. The main issues in her works lie in her interest in the study of the gaze, the interplay between absence and presence in a photographic image, and the fact that the reading of a photograph is most often triggered by a collective memory. She explores the media itself and its close connection to themes like decay, memory, death and transitoriness.
Brigitte Lustenberger has shown nationally and internationally in both solo and group shows. She had Solo Shows at the Museée de l’Elysée in Lausanne/Switzerland, at Walter Keller’s Scalo Gallery in Zurich and New York, at Le Maillon...
