Kai Tak Approach (McD) ( Nr. 1 from an edition of 7) Photograph

Next to photographing editorial and commercial assignments or producing stock images for some of the world's most prestigious agencies, Paul van Riel has always taken time to work on personal projects resulting in exhibitions and books.Since 1978 most of these projects were executed, almost on an annual basis, in the Far East, especially in Japan and China.The Amsterdam based photographer boasts an international career in travel and corporate photography which took him around the globe. Museums and galleries in Holland and abroad regularly exhibit his work, many times outtakes from the coffeetable books he produces, e.g. "KIMONO" ( KIT Publishers / Hotei ). His work is in the collections of museums as well as individuals and international corporations.
