  • Catalogue Essay

    In this bold composition, a model’s profile, her head and part of her face obscured by a large, flat circle, is outlined against a plain background. ‘Circle arose out of the curiosity to combine geometrical shapes with my models. The goal was to create an abstract image in which a sign of humanity plays an important role’, Bastiaan Woudt explains. ‘By largely "hiding" the models you create a distance, but by adding a human aspect, such as a hand or silhouette of a face, it remains tangible and recognisable.’ A self-taught photographer, Woudt has developed his distinctive monochromatic aesthetic through experimentations in both in-camera and post-production techniques.
