Interview at “The Eye of Photography”

Last month during Miami Art Week 2021, The Selects Gallery had the privileged opportunity to chat to Dutch photographer Bastiaan Woudt at his solo show presented with Jackson Fine Art Gallery at Art Miami fair. We have been following the work of this photographer, who despite no formal training, has developed his photographic expertise in just ten short years and was exhibited Musee du Louvre in 2015 and Fotographiska in 2016 and 2018. Inspired by photography from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and the works of fashion photography masters such as Man Ray, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, Woudt’s ‘monochrome minimalism’ creates an immediately recognizable and personal visual style. He focuses on elegant and restrained forms that almost become abstract through extreme contrasts of black and white monochromes and highly stylized definition.

We spoke to Bastiaan about his personal style and vision, his new retrospective book ‘Rhythm,’ and his spectacular expedition to mountains of Nepal.

MY NEW BOOK “RHYTHM”

PROUD TO PRESENT TO YOU MY NEW BOOK “RHYTHM”

A 10-year retrospective “Rhythm” is now available. The two cover options are Carlos and Rhythm.

After starting my career as a professional photographer 10 years ago, one of my biggest dreams of releasing a big collector’s book has become reality. "Rhythm" is an assemblage of commissioned work and work from my private archive. The book is a self-reflective document that I’m proud to say - was published by 1605 Publishers, my own publishing house. For me, the process of selecting, post-producing and revisiting 10 years of such personal work has been a cathartic experience during the global pandemic. My creative evolution, who I am today and where I’m headed as a photographer has now been encapsulated within exactly 500 pages.

The rhythm of the book is dictated by the correlation between the image you see and the one consecutively. It is not determined by series, purely selected by how one photo ‘speaks’ to the other. "Rhythm" is a personal journey through my own body of work that brings up the highlights of my career: projects that I’ve accomplished and people that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. 

T-Stand

The T-Stand designed by me is the perfect solution for displaying larger books or Fine art portfolios. Several years ago i began making handmade collector's boxes containing a book and prints. Since these are more difficult to place in an interior, and it's a shame not to give them the attention they deserve, i’ve started thinking about a stand that perfectly meets this need. The result is the T-Stand, and as the name suggests, the big brother of the V-Stand. I’m proud to offer this stand through 1605 Publishers.

The V-Stand

For years I have been looking for the perfect book stand. One that offers quality, minimal design and will last for years. Because I couldn't find the perfect stand anywhere I decided to design it myself. The V Stand is placed low on the table, so you can look inside the book even when you're sitting down. Because of this low perspective it looks like the book floats, but with the ideal angle so that the book, regardless of its thickness, will fall open nicely. A product that will last a lifetime and is essential on the table of any book collector.

YouTube | Project PEAK - Trekking through Nepal for a month

Really excited to show you one of the biggest adventures of my career so far. October 2019 I went on this crazy adventure together with my brother to shoot a project in Nepal. For 26 days we hiked through the mountains around Mount Annapurna. What is considered one of the most busy trails of Nepal was something different for us. We took the unbeaten path, away from all tourists and other adventurers. We took the path known to the guides as "the Annapurna hardway". Many days without meeting anyone, except sometimes some local mountain people. It resulted in a project, a book and a show. Voiceover is my own, with text from the preface I wrote for this book.

Amsterdam Portraits

Intriguing photo series about the unique face of Amsterdam in dozens of portraits by Bastiaan Woudt

Photographer Bastiaan Woudt and gallery owner Roy Kahmann conceived the idea of portraying Amsterdammers in the spring of 2019. They parked their mobile studio in different parts of the city, in order to get the most diverse inhabitants in front of the lens. The resulting book, Amsterdam Portraits, shows Amsterdammers of very different ages, backgrounds and professions - from well-known actors to anonymous streetwalkers, from schoolchildren to pensioners. It gives a beautiful picture of the diversity that the city exudes. This is what Amsterdam looks like today. Bastiaan Woudt has made a rapid breakthrough in the world of contemporary photography. Although he only started photographing six years ago, without experience or education, under the guidance of Roy Kahmann he has developed a distinct style in a short period of time, with a preference for portraits and nudes and with an unprecedented eye for detail. Even if he only spends a brief moment with his subject, as in the mobile studio of Amsterdam Portraits, he manages to capture the essence in a powerful, iconic image.
