About The Artwork

“Richard Parker” - Today’s #internationaltigerday. This largest animal of the world’s big cats are on the brink of extinction; 97% of all wild tigers disappeared in the last century, with only around 3,000 left alive. David Attenborough was quoted saying: “People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile.” This emotion can be achieved in different ways, but one of the most original was the iconic tiger in Life of Pi. This image was named after the iconic tiger of the movie, Richard Parker. Though the tiger was partly CGI, a real tiger was used on set. By bringing a real animal you set a standard to bring emotion to the main character. The same goes for this image. It’s not computer generated; the shot was from 2 meters of the cat and from the ground up. Neither was the halo around his head. By photographing directly into the sunlight there’s a natural halo which brings emotion to this image. If anything, this images shows why these big cats are worthwhile.

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.
