It's difficult to find a good picture of a giraffe. Because they're so tall and dangly, it’s hard to isolate them aside from trees, bushes and other vegetation. This distracts from the overall image, because it simply captures way too much and there’s nothing interesting in such photographs other than for you friends and family to see. 

I don't see any other way to photograph a giraffe from the ground up or a with a wide-angle lens from nearby. For "Silhoutte" I went with the latter. You don't actually see the "complete" giraffe. And yet you immediately know what you're looking at because of the distinct patterns and shapes which make the composition interesting.

All images are printed on high quality fine art baryta paper and hand signed by Jochen.

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.
