Demask Europerve III, De Meervaart, Amsterdam

Gerard Wessel, 1993-08

Wessel: ‘Photography is all about having the foresight to “see a photo”. Once you see it, you must quickly and enthusiastically persuade your model to pose for you. Inspired by the energy of the subject in your viewfinder, just a few shots are enough to create a powerful image. The omnipresent “eroticism of Amsterdam” seems to be a unifying factor in the city after dark.’
