Hans Pieterse
The Netherlands
Hans Pieterse has run his professional photography studio in Amsterdam since 1990, specialising in still life and product photography. In his well-equipped studio, he can create any desired atmosphere, tailored to the client's needs. He has worked on campaigns for major brands such as Nike, Adidas, Asics, Hema, and most recently, Bugaboo.
In addition to collaborating with advertising agencies and working directly with companies, he is passionate about his own personal photography projects, where he lets his creativity run wild.
His latest photography project is titled 'The Rainbow Collection'. The idea came to him while walking across a rainbow crossing in the centre of Amersfoort. The cracks in the painted asphalt inspired him to use this as the backdrop for his new series of floral still lifes. These cracks were photographed early on a quiet Sunday morning and later carefully selected in his studio for the final six powerful images, which will be exhibited and sold as a triptych. The rainbow serves as a beautiful symbol of hope, love, happiness, and acceptance.
"Behind the clouds, the sun shines. The promise of a new beginning."
