For the past half year I’ve been investigating the archive of the White House photographer Pete Souza. The result is a series of ten collections I’ve composed and analysed from the whole archive. The project is published on De Correspondent [only in Dutch].
Find here more information on the whole project.

For the ‘Stadsleven‘ blog of Tracy Metz I wrote a column about
a photograph of Jordi Huisman’s project Rear Window.
Now this column is also published on the website of De Groene.
Last week I visited the exhibition of The Enclave by Richard Mosse in the Irish pavilion during La Biennale di Venezia. And because I was blown away by the project as well as by the presentation of the work, I wrote a recommendation on De Correspondent in the hope that some museum will bring this exhibition to Holland.
Read here my recommendation, including a video registration of the installation.
Our ED project was in the television program Editing the World by Vodafone Firestarters on Discovery Channel. (Click here to view, from 3:43).

For De Correspondent I’m investigating the photographic archive of White House photographer Pete Souza (as it is published on flickr). By categorising the images into self-defined collection I’m able to analyse the way imagery is used as a tool for staged representation.
As starting point I wrote the introduction “the White House Photographer”
on this project (I’m still working on).

As part of the Live Preview presentation of De Correspondent in Paradiso last sunday, I pleaded for the use of fewer images in journalistic publications. Because of the overload of images we are living in, we need to select what is worth looking at. Although one could think more images published on digital platforms is an improvement, I think we must strive for publishing only good images to maintain our appreciation of images as well as the quality of images.
