What is love at first sight, if not a deep and
unique connection with the input of very few
values? Dutch photographer Martin Van de
Kreeke shows us that, though it need not be
love, we can certainly know someone with the
same brevity and intensity that strikes in the
flash of a moment.
Not a photographer by profession, Van
de Kreeke owns and operates a busy record
shop in Rotterdam, Netherlands. “I learned
photography, in part, in art school,” Van de
Kreeke told INSPADES Magazine, “But mainly I
am an autodidact.” Though his shop occupies
the majority of his time, Van de Kreeke
“rediscovered” his passion for photography in
the last five years.
Transitioning from outdoor photography
including street, landscape and natural, Van
de Kreeke has moved toward indoor work,
developing a compelling collection of gorgeously
gritty portraiture. “I bought myself some simple
studio equipment which allows me to shoot
whenever I want,” said Van de Kreeke.
