About The Artwork

Printed on 325 gr/m² fine art baryta paper. “The Matriarch” is undoubtedly one of last assignment’s highlights in Kenya. I was doubting when to release this image as there seems no good timing these days. However, there’s probably no better inducement for this image than Earth Day’s 50th celebration. Scenes like this play out every day on Amboseli’s dry lake. The challenge is to be at the right time at the the right location with the right equipment. And with sunset imminent for just about 15 minutes of Amboseli’s 400 square kilometers it is a lot of ground to cover… Thanks to the amazing speed of my guide and driver Sammy, this was a joint team effort came true at exactly the right time. The angle of the camera works in this low to the ground “Ant Man” position. The sun is at just the right angle and the mud drying up on her skin while she is looking down… It creates the perfect mood and spotlight on the leader of the heard. She‘s a true power stature, a savage, magnificent, impressive and she shows how fragile and little we are amongst forces of nature.

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.
