Rogier Maaskant

After 20 years of 'practice' my pictures have become the mix that I prefer the most: straightforward poetic reality. Some of the work presented here dates back from 15-20 years ago. Strong images last. Good pictures even get better when they age.

Besides photography I've initiated and managed the following projects I thought were important. See event list.

When you decide to buy one, or more, it would be nice for me to get in contact with you. You can reach me at my email address: .

In 2011 Chenao Solis from Saatchi asked me some Q's for the Behind the Canvas Section. It's not on the website anymore but here's part of the Q's & A's:

Behind The Canvas: Saatchi Online Interview With Rogier Maaskant

What equipment do you shoot with and why?
Last few years I shoot mainly digital. I used two bulky Fuji 6×9 cameras a lot that still are my favorites because they are completely mechanical. I like that. They are very fast to operate. Except when you have to change a role of film of course. Today the 220 rolls became a bit too expensive for me to shoot with at the rate I use to do. A pity, but in the end it is not about what you take pictures with, but what you take pictures of.
