Remco van de Sanden
Who is this person behind these pictures?
Well, my name is Remco van de Sanden, and I was born in 1975.
After High-school and military service I started working as a dental technician in the early 90's. I graduated dental school in 2000.
Besides my job as a dental technician I also work as an photographer.
Since many years I've been behind the camera. In the early days on film and later on also in the digital world of photography.
Still, after all these years photography keeps fascinating me. It remains a very interesting and diverse way to take some rays of light and model them into a picture. No two images are the same.
Digital Photography
Digital photography is here to stay. In this world of modern marvels new development follow in rapid succession. One even better than the other.
Finding you way in all this digital revolution is not always easy, but when you find what you are looking for, the results are "pleasing" to say the least.
In my digital photography I only work with professional full-frame equipment made bij Nikon. The quality of these camera's en lenses is without equal. Especially under demanding circumstances with low light or bad weather. Nikon has the tool to do it.
This results in a quality that constant and repeatable and delivers the most outstanding images one could want.
Of course we also have the equipment to shoot on different locations. Either in a portable studio setting or freehand just about anywhere.
Analogue Photography
Even in these revolutionary days of digital violence I stil often use 35mm film camera's. Walking around with a camera that's 35 years old using a nice black & white film just has it's own feel and almost romance around it.
The need to think, the need to look, measure and think.. You only got 24 exposures, so use them wisely. I still love it and always have the 35mm in my camera bag, just in case.
My favourite walk around 35mm camera is my trusty old Praktica MTL-3 (built in 1978) with an old 50mm Pentacon lens, loaded with either Ilford XP2 Super B&W film.
Luckily their are still some good quality films available like these ones I use most: Ilford XP2 Super, Kodak Professional BW400CN and Fujifilm Neopan 400CN.
