John Lauf A modern‐day Dutch master of light, John Lauf is a photographer/videographer that has spent the last decade in New York City, shooting and filming images in a wide range of subjects from fashion music to fetishism. . Lauf left the Netherlands in 2002 to pursue his artistic desires in New York. “My art is the expression of my voice and I reached a point in the Netherlands where my voice was beginning to wane”, says Lauf’ “so I decided to take a leap of faith, leave Amsterdam and fulfill a dream I always had of being able to do what I love in the best city in the world, New York.” ”What motivates me is similar to what motivates other artists, whether they are musicians, painters, or architects. It may sound clichéd, but passion drives me. The love I have for my work is so intense at times that it becomes more important to me than breathing. But other times I feel it’s not enough to motivate me, and that’s where my curiosity kicks in.” Lauf believes people will either love or hate this exhibit, but either way, there will be something in his imagery that will provoke some sort of reaction or dialogue. “The ultimate response will be if people actually learn something about themselves by seeing my work.“
