"Spontaneity is the cornerstone of my work. I like to go into a shoot without a plan. Seeing what happens, letting the interaction between photographer and subject run free. I think that by spontaneity the best ideas arise. An encounter, with the aim of taking pictures, should not be stuck to preconceived plans. It all has to arise in the moment."
Bastiaan Woudt
Over a time span of more than a decade, fine-art photographer Bastiaan Woudt (1987) has carved out a multifaceted career path – alongside an unmistakable aesthetic signature. Woudt is celebrated for his evocative use of monochromatic tones, silhouettes and shadow play that seep into ethereal visuals. Whether intimate portraits or long-stretching landscapes, he maintains a minimalist approach throughout.
Woudt's influence in the art world is palpable; his works have been exhibited at leading fairs such as Paris Photo, AIPAD and Photo London. He is represented by galleries in Amsterdam, Zurich, London, Los Angeles and Atlanta-next to a solo show at the prestigious New York auction house Phillips. His commissions by acclaimed titles like Harper's Bazaar, British Vogue, Numéro Netherlands, L'Officiel and New York Magazine, coupled with his commercial projects for Chanel, further underline his artistic flair and desirability.
