Vincent R.W.H.Rijs - escape too

关于 Vincent Rijs：是一位成功的摄影师，生于阿姆斯特丹。2009年他结束了在阿姆斯特丹的 Gerrit Rietveld Academie of Art 的工作，开始在阿姆斯特丹的 Image Masters Photography Lab 进行培训，并于2012年毕业。2010年他定居为独立摄影师。一个梦想成真！他的作品集包括为 Vogue Italy 拍摄的作品，他也在阿姆斯特丹和欧洲的不同画廊展出过他的作品。他的作品被“collectioneurs”收藏。

Reflection and mirroring are the motifs in Vincent Rijs' photographic work. Tranquil images with a warm color palette placed in a melancholy frame, sometimes with a touch of surrealism. He finds his inspiration in the dramatic chiaroscuro of the painters of the Golden Age, Caravaggio, Rembrandt. He himself says: “I want to paint with the lens”.
His compositions seem carefully directed, the characters in the picture seem to act in their scenes, but they are not. The choreography arises quite spontaneously. The beautiful, mystical atmosphere he evokes is somewhat uncertain. Vincent uses his photography to detect whether the projected image resonates with his feeling of a certain desolation, unprotectedness. A musing, but desperate desire to see the separate components of oneself reflected in the image of the other, to make half a body whole. Curious, he looks to see if “the other” is present in the reflection and returns the affection. Do we enter a different world there that is also recognizable in a strange way?
