Week 4 SDL: Hendrik Kerstens 'Paula'
Hendrik Kerstens is a Dutch photographer who has been photographing his daughter Paula. He creates portraits that reference Dutch Old Masters and Italian Renaissance works.
From the photos he took of his daughter, I can learn that a playful and lovely imitation may also become a classic. He decorates his daughter with objects used in daily life, making ordinary things extraordinary. In life, we It is necessary to have an eye to discover beauty, and any thing will become very meaningful under one's own creativity and works.

Photographer: Hendrik Kersten
Tumblr media
Hendrik Kerstens is a Dutch photographer who, since 1995, has been photographing his daughter Paula. He was born in 1956 in the Hague, the Netherlands and is a self-taught artist. He began a series of photographing his daughter’s life, initially capturing her in everyday poses and attire, documenting intimate moments where she appears looking pensive in a swimsuit, or clutching herself after a bad sunburn. Kerstens gradually expanded his practice to create carefully composed portraits that playfully refer to the works of the Dutch Old Masters and the Italian Renaissance. These images use everyday items as props, such as a dishtowel or cream standing in for a maiden’s cloth and wig, and still rely on Paula as his primary subject. His photography was awarded a Taylor Wessing Photographic Prize from the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2008, and has been shown in Europe, Latin America, and the United States. He was given his first solo exhibition in the United States at the Museum for the City of New York in 2009, and he has since been commissioned for several covers of New York Times Magazine. He lives in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Hendrik Kerstens 'Paula' 
I watched the video, I understood more about Vermeer lighting, and it looks good. However, I personally don't think this technique would go well with my photographic style and just not the motif I want. Also, a side note although the pose, costume and angle changed the pain in the subjects' eyes drew my attention.

Catch Up Content - Week 4
Paula Youtube Video
The photographs in this video are done by Dutch Photographer Hendrik Kerstens of his daughter Paula. His photographs are mostly done in the style of Johannes Vermeer's Golden Dutch Age paintings during the 17th century. The series of images in the video displays a variety of portraits that Hendrik has done of his daughter playing with the use of lighting and shadows. It looks like he is using a single light source such as a window or light and composing her body in different directions to cast shadows around her. Paula is featured in a range of shots where she is either dolled up or dressed down showing her different sides to her. One thing is consistent within the images and that is her lack of expression. In all of the images, she is shown to have no hints of expression on her face which gives a hard mood making the connection between the subject and the lens distant. During my research of him, I found the main takeaway from his work to be lighting and composition showing me how I can create larger shadows by using a main source of light with a darker, non-reflective background which I can make by using a large black sheet as Natalie showed us during week 4.

Week 4 - Vermeer lighting
What is Vermeer Lighting?
According to The New York Times, Vermeer lighting is ordinary daylight coming from an open window.
Hendrik Kerstens 'Paula'
youtube
In this video, we see an example of Vermeer lighting cast onto a subject with a black backdrop. The lighting illuminates the subject's face and body but not the backdrop, which is black. Therefore, it allows the subject to stand out and also no distractions.
I really like the way he has created a series of images that are each stand-alone pieces but work really well together. The way he has positioned her and her facial expressions remind me of older European paintings and portraits. The mood is regal and serious. I also find due to the clothing choices and the paleness of the subject's skin, it almost feels like spirit photography. I'm not sure if that is intentional or not.
It's also creative that he's used items as clothing pieces to give the illusion of them. Before I realised this, I didn't even notice. It makes me inspired to look around my room for things that I could use in place of others to add playfulness to my images.
Using Vermeer is a great example of using natural light in a controlled manner. I really like how it gives the illusion of studio lighting. I also want to control it at home by using a dark backdrop and positioning me or my subject in front of it. This way, I can have the subject fully illuminated but not the background.

Hendrik Kerstens
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have previously come across Hendrik Kerstens' work and looked into his elegant portraits throughout high school. Formally an artist, he began photographing his daughter Paula in 1995 and focused his work on his interpretation of Dutch 17th century paintings, as well as bringing in the playful aspect of humorous and conceptual dialogue between past and present. His perfectly framed and ambient lit images are very serene and how they are reminiscent of a painting can even tie into my own work relating to my major.

Hendrik Kerstens’s life-time project of photographing his daughter ‘Paula’ as a reminiscent of the portraits from the Dutch Golden Age, in a way of expressing his paternal love and in a conceptual and humorous dialog between the daily life in the 17th and in 21st century.
It’s all started in 1995 when Hendrik Kerstens, then at the age of forty, willing to devote himself to a more creative profession, left the business world and took up photography. His wife now had to support the family, whilst Kerstens stay home learning the craft and taking care for their child. For practicing to capture the fleeting moments of childhood, he started with documentary family snapshots, when suddenly he saw his muse from a different perspective.
“One day Paula came back from horseback riding. She took off her cap and I was struck by the image of her hair held together by a hair-net. It reminded me of the portraits by the Dutch masters and I portrayed her in that fashion. After that I started to do more portraits in which I refer to the paintings of that era. The thing that fascinates me in particular is the way a 17th century painting is seen as a surface which can be read as a description of everyday life as opposed to the paintings of the Italian renaissance, which usually tell a story. Northern European painting relies much more on craftsmanship and the perfect rendition of the subject. The use of light is instrumental in this.”
The portraits are published in a book ‘Paula: Silent Conversations’.

Understanding Photographs
Hendrick Kerstens 
Tumblr media
Technical: 45 degree lighting leaving catchlights on the models eyes. The 45 degree lighting makes sure that a part of the models black shirt is noticeable and a part of her face is noticed to the eyes first before anything. The book cover is shadowed out giving this idea that the 45 degree lighting was used.
Visual: The model is positioned to the left with a book on top of her head being the focus point in this picture. The colour scheme in this picture is very plain and simple; having the black, white, the soft pink on the models lips and that hint of beige in one of the pages on the book. Not too colourful but, not too extreme in your eyes.
Contextual: Hendrik Kerstens is a Dutch photographer who is known for his photographs of his daughter, Paula. Initially Kerstens' photographs were created out of the artist's desire to capture something of the fleeting moments that fade of childhood. Several the portraits of Paula are clearly reminiscent of Johannes Vermeer. The austerity of the photograph, its clarity, the serene expression on the young girl's face, and not least, the characteristic "Dutch" light, all combine to create this impression.
David Eustace 
Tumblr media
Technical: 45 Degree lighting with a filler board on the other side of the model. The left side of the model’s face is much brighter than the other side but not too shadowed out which makes me think some sort of filler board was used in this photograph as well. The left side of the model’s jacket is highlighted more than the right side giving the idea on what kind of lighting was used, my guess being 45 degree lighting.
Visual: The model is positioned in the middle of the photograph with his hands locked in together. Her hair is bright white with a few grey streaks. With this image being in black and white, it helps the model stand out more with the grey background behind her and the expression on her face giving off a “ready for business” sort of look about her.
Contextual: David Eustace is a Scottish photographer and director, who is known for his fashion, celebrity and art photography. His photographs are included in the collections of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art. Born in Glasgow, internationally renowned photographer, David Eustace, did not pick up a camera until he was twenty-eight. Since teaching himself how to print and process his photographs, Eustace has gone on to photograph an impressive range of sitters and his work has featured in many major magazines.

 HENDRIK KERSTENS
The Dutch photographer pays tongue-in-cheek homage to the Dutch master painters of the past by recreating photo portraits of his own daughter Paula. Mimicking their styles of lighting and composition, most notably the work of Johannes Vermeer (famous for his Girl with the Pearl Earring painting) is a recurring inspiration but Kerstens adds yet another layer of light to manipulate through his chiaroscuro lens...humor. 
In deadpan seriousness each photograph demands we accept its absurdity. Whether of a trash bag bonnet, or lampshade hat, or tablecloth habit--These jokes seem to question idolization of the subject while simultaneously beckoning us to admire how even the most mundane items are perfectly captured to seem painted by oil on canvas. 
Most remarkable of all perhaps, these photos, through camera lenses more than capable of capturing reality, bend instead to mimic the painted ideal of reality as explored by the foregone Dutch artists of light and shadow. Maybe that’s the joke, we can take pictures now of things as they are, but its still higher art to copy the painters who did it less realistically, by hand.

“Troupe” (2018, i.s.m. de gemeente Sint-Katelijne-Waver)
“Vanavond is het eindelijk zover in het dorp: er wordt een grote bruiloft gevierd! 
Iedereen is uitgenodigd en alles staat in rep en roer: het koor oefent nog één keer zijn gezangen, de schilder legt de laatste hand aan zijn cadeau, de wijn wordt geperst, de tafel gedekt, de klokken geluid en het café krijgt nog een laatste opblinkbeurt. Alles staat klaar voor het feest der feesten waarin deze inwoners de liefde, het leven en de bloeiende toekomst van het bruidspaar willen vieren.
Tot een oorlog binnen walst...”
In 2018 vieren en herdenken de inwoners van Sint-Katelijne Waver de honderdste verjaardag van het einde van de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Deze oorlog liet wereldwijd sporen na en ook deze gemeente bleef niet gespaard. Toen de frontlijn voorbijgeraasd was, waren de dorpskernen van Sint-Katelijne-Waver en Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Waver verwoest en geplunderd. Inwoners trokken op de vlucht en het dorp bestond uit uitgebrande en gesloopte woningen, kerken, scholen en gebouwen. Het vee liep los over de omgewoelde velden. Talloze soldatengraven tekenden het landschap. Er heerste ongerustheid en verdriet over soldaten en niet-teruggekeerde vluchtelingen.
“Troupe” is het resultaat van meer dan 500 inwoners van Sint-Katelijne-Waver die hun overgave, energie en tomeloze inzet hebben gebundeld voor een totaalspektakel. Honderd jaar na het einde van WO I, brengen ze een ode aan de herkansing van de mensheid na een catastrofe. Samen tonen ze wat er mogelijk is wanneer een gemeenschap gelooft in verzoening, jongeren, hoop, vrede, samenwerking en toekomst.
“Troupe” kende veel repetities, vergaderingen, omzwervingen en gedaantes voor het zijn uiteindelijke vorm vond. Samen zijn we vertrokken vanuit de talenten van honderden individuele deelnemers: van decorbouwers tot spelers, van tekstschrijvers tot muzikanten, van vendeliers tot ruiters. Gaandeweg ontstonden er ook kruisbestuivingen: dansers tonen hun kunnen op de muziek van de harmonie, de vendeliers leiden met hun vlaggen het spreekkoor in, muzikanten leerden zingen, acteurs hielpen decors te bouwen, enzovoort. Het maken van “Troupe” is een wilde rit geweest, een tornado, een wave – maar bovenal: een feestelijke smeltkroes.

Week 3 – 4: PORTRAITURE– DUTCH MASTERS
I looked at the work of Hendrik Kersten’s and Dutch Portrait for inspiration, for shooting my studio portraits.
One of the key things I picked up on during my investigation was intimacy, and how to capture that on camera, along with a sense of vulnerability. There is an over emphasis on strong facial expressions or emotions, there is an engagement and acknowledgment but often with a lack of intensity with undertones of being aloof.  However there often appears to be an acknowledgment and trust between model and photographer.
 MY SESSION 
One of the things I enjoy about studio, portrait photography is directing and being in control what is being produced, less distractions and nothing working against me, i.e. elements, by standers, anything unpredictable. I was glad the subjects were easy to work with, were comfortable and took instructions from me easily.
 LIGHTING: I used the butterfly effect, to centralise and draw attention to the subject and the centre of their face, without being to too dramatic and (balancing light and dark). The butterfly effect is often used in portrait and headshot photography for performers and is flatter as it is placed above the subject and is facing down, often leading cheekbones being more prominent and slimming own of the face.
Another lighting technique I used was the Rembrandt lighting triangle, this lighting effect creates a strong contrast between light and dark, as it is placed underneath the subject's eye on the less illuminated area of the face (fill side).
Dutch photographer Hendrik Kersten is not formally trained, inspired by the 17th century Dutch painters. He ran a business as a cheese maker, before turning to photography, taking family snap shots, then going on to a documentary style form of photography before specialising in portrait photography as his daughter and muse grew older.
 PROPS: I used a headwrap as it is one of the key things in Hendrik Kersten’s portrait of his daughter, Paula.
 ISO 100
 Shutter speed: 1/100 -  aperture F: f/1.8 - ISO:100.
