About The Artwork
Time stands still in southern Kenya. It’s a flat, raw and elemental amphitheater and a great canvas to tell stories. There’re no tension points and it’s a place of stark contrasts. On one side you have - when lucky - your typical Hollywood-like African scenery with Mount Kilimanjaro as a scenic backdrop. On the other you have the dusty, almost apocalyptic landscape which reminds more of uninhabitable places we know from movies like “The Martian”. * All alike… it is not your typical “Big 5 checklist” destination. It’s really all about the elephants. And the elephants here are the biggest in the world. You want to be a better photographer? Stand in front of the most amazing things you can image and put better things in front of your camera. It’s really that simple. In theory. * In reality we waited hours for this big bull to move in front of the camera. And it was worth it. There is no point in coming all the way here and not getting above the threshold of the mundane. That is the challenge and the epicenter of any transcending photograph. All that matters is if the imagery is strong enough to elicit an emotional reaction, not be taken ever again and stacks up in the final print. That’s when you can look back with a great deal of satisfaction. I think we succeeded… it definitely has an impact on all three dimensions.

Netherlands
Jochen van Dijk is a Dutch-based wildlife and landscape photographer. He strives to capture the urban experience of cities, animal encounters and the emotional connection with different cultures in images which translate these emotions to a clear visual voice. The goal is to bring a observable connecting message that can move people in any way possible. This is his motivation to push harder and harder every time he presses that shutter. The problem in this modern world is there’s a huge amount of visual content. Maybe even too much… By the internet it’s simple to share all of these experiences with so many people worldwide. Though good pictures make up for likes on Facebook, Instagram or pretty iPhone wallpapers, in the end it’s about one simple critique: if I personally have only one wall to decorate… would I put this up? Jochen fiercely believes that the answer to this question is trivial. He favors a fine-art style, choosing to appeal to buyers of framed photography, because a well executed picture framed and hanging on a wall or printed in a book has more impact than on a webpage. In his opinion, print is the ultimate destination for any image. Even in this digital world we live in.
