Review of Fred Ritchin on the blog of Aperture about Rencontres d’Arles 2013. And he mentions “ED: restoring the value of photography through editing”!
That “young Dutch woman”, that’s me.
My first blog. [dutch only]
About what sort of image editor I want to be for De Correspondent.
It’s official!
I’m the image editor for De Correspondent.
After six inspiring years as the image editor of nrc.next, it’s time for me to look for new challenges on new horizons.
Last night we presented ED – the Technical Standard for Photo Editing, as part of the GKf Frits Gerritsen Award evening in Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam. The award was for Marloes Krijnen, director of Foam, and as part of the price she posed a commission for us, five young talented image makers/takers/thinkers, to react to the statement “photography belongs to everyone”.
We (Brigiet van den Berg, Nikki Brörmann, Simone Engelen, Ola Lanko and me) have been working on this project for the last three months and presented the interim result of our research on this evening.

Dit is wat fotografie kan en waarom fotografie nodig is
De Ierse fotograaf Richard Mosse werkt in conflictgebieden. In tegenstelling tot bij veel oorlogsfotografie, is het geweld in zijn werk niet het onderwerp, maar een gegeven. Hij focust zich niet op gewelddadigheden, maar op de uitwassen daarvan. Daardoor kan hij dingen anders laten zien. Zoals niemand ze ooit heeft gezien. Oorlog is gruwelijk, maar ook heel ver weg. We hebben er een beeld van in ons hoofd, gevormd door wat we zien in de media. Hoe bloederig ook, we zijn er gewend aan geraakt. Maar de foto’s in dit boek van Mosse zijn esthetisch, prachtig van kleur en compositie. Het is die schoonheid waardoor de gruwelijke werkelijkheid extra hard binnenkomt.

I felt really honored when Foam, the photomuseum in Amsterdam, asked me to give some guided tours around my favorite publications of the New York Times Magazines exhibition. All their publications are an image editors dream.

This is an article I wrote about how I, as an image editors, have to deal with horrible pictures of massacres in Ivory Coast every day. By showing these pictures to the readers we always get a lot of angry letters of people telling us that they don’t want to be confronted with these pictures with their children at breakfast. So readers are to upset and don’t read the article at all. At the same time, by not publishing these pictures, the newspaper don’t tell the real horrible story going on in Ivory Coast.
