After 20 years of 'practice' my pictures have become the mix that I prefer the most: straightforward poetic reality. Some of the work presented here dates back from 15-20 years ago. Strong images last. Good pictures even get better when they age. Besides photography I've initiated and managed the following projects I thought were important. See event list. When you decide to buy one, or more, it would be nice for me to get in contact with you. You can reach me at my email address: contact@rogiermaaskant.com. In 2011 Chenao Solis from Saatchi asked me some Q's for the Behind the Canvas Section. It's not on the website anymore but here's part of the Q's & A's: Behind The Canvas: Saatchi Online Interview With Rogier Maaskant What equipment do you shoot with and why? Last few years I shoot mainly digital. I used two bulky Fuji 6×9 cameras a lot that still are my favorites because they are completely mechanical. I like that. They are very fast to operate. Except when you have to change a role of film of course. Today the 220 rolls became a bit too expensive for me to shoot with at the rate I use to do. A pity, but in the end it is not about what you take pictures with, but what you take pictures of. What role does the photographer have in society or do you perceive it this way? My idea is that the ‘role’ I play is to point out things that surprise me, that seem important enough to look at it longer than an instant. It could be triggered by a particular sensitivity for a certain kind of beauty or by an intriguing moment or person. If I am touched, or mildly mesmerized by him, her or something, why wouldn’t others be? Please name one of your most admired photographers… At this point in time I don’t really have one photographer that I admire so much that I would mention him or her in particular here. In my early days there’s been a whole range: from Sophie Calle and Breitner to De Keyzer, Van der Elsken, Salgado, Reims, Cartier-Bresson, Sternfield, Gursky, Winogrand, Friedlander and Parr (especially his book Bad Weather, which in my opinion still is the best book he has done). Describe an inspiring moment or incident in your life. What a difficult question this is. There’s lots. What about this I’view. What is the most dominant memory of your childhood? My almost drowning when I was 2 ½ years of age. At the same time this is my first memory of life.
