"How did you make this photograph?" Is the question I'm going to ask myself this year.

  • personal diary to describe experiences while photographing
  • method description of my work
  • a fictive diary of constructed landscapes?
  • studies on the Antrhopocene


1st draft: A 100 views on a mountain

Almost a quarter of our Earth’s landmass can be considered mountainous. In this research I’m collecting a 100 different views on a mountain from the human perspective. We as humans, have a rich history with mountains. We look at them, we enjoy them, we are afraid of them, we walk on them, we want to be on top of them, we write about them, we paint them, we take pictures of them, we name them, we carve them out, we want to defy them and so on. I’m going to collect views from people with different backgrounds and experiences with mountains. This may turn into an interview with the person in question or researching books, articles and films.


Peoples views: Local, Sherpa, Climber, Skier, Snowboarder, Rescuer, Paraglider, Pilot, Geologist, Philosopher, Snow scraper, Artist, Photographer, Filmmaker, Geographer, Anthropologist, Park ranger, Delivery man, Tourist, Writer, Poet, Astronaut, Native American, Buddhist, Monk, Maya, Aboriginals.

2nd draft: The making of mountains

In this research project I’m making a method description of my work. Describing all steps and experiences within the making process, then the selection process and eventually the presentation process. This will help me reflecting on why I’m taking the steps that I take. It will also give more depth and inside into the experiences I have while taking my photographs.
