Frank Van Driel

B i o g r a p h y

Dutch photographer Frank van Driel (1966) specializes in staged photography. Due to his ability to read the space his portraits turn out pure and real. His passion for people is also visible in his advertising work.

In his free work he often strengthens this staged aspect. His references to a deepened sence of life and his personal history are powerfull. Hereby strong, melodramatic and lovely images arise.

Frank is a passionate authentic imagemaker. Ensures good commnunication and is fun to work with. He is ambitious and always searching for co-creation.

Frank loves working both on location and at his charming studio "Het Pand', an old monastery built in 1424 with day and artificial light, which is based at the heart of the old city centre of s'-Hertogenbosch.
Initially frank had a career as a business consultant, but more than forteen years ago he rediscovered his earlier love for the camera, and decided to become a photographer. Since then, he has achieved recognition for his photoseries, 'Dutch Delight', 'Poetic Stills', 'Our Daily Bread', 'Love Potion' and 'Stone Soup'. He is also known for his portraits of scientists, bankers, laywers, politicians and artists.
