Sarah Schönfeld

Looking for art for my client, i remembered the work of Sarah Schönfeld which impressed me a lot. This is what she says:
"Wende Gelände is my pho­to­gra­phic record of import­ant pla­ces from my childhood that fell into decay as a result of the Wende [the col­lapse of com­mu­nist East Ger­many and the crea­tion of a uni­fied Ger­man state] and the sub­se­quent struc­tu­ral chan­ges.."

Last Saturday in Volkskrant Magazine, the house of Marina van Goor. I am not going to try to catch her interior in words, her talent for beauty, eye for old and new. Enjoy. Ontwerpstudio Marina van Goor. Pictures by Jeltje Janmaat.

Marian Cramer

Dutch photographer Jeltje took these photos at Marian Cramers house which resulted in an article in the Residence, March 2012. Styling by me. Marian's family home is, apart from an amazing mixture of antique, design and art, also a home gallery. An inspiring and sophisticated place. Do visit her website and gallery,

CookBook

Some of my favourite pics from Janneke's cookbook 'Comfort Food'. Foodstyling by Ingmar Niezen and Ulrika Gustafsson, pictures by Sean Fitzpatrick.

Janneke and i go way back, secondary school, Au Pair in Brussels. We lived in the same dorm during university, where i experienced her cooking skills. Good food 24/7, midnight pasta with friends, making serious diner for our parents. If that wasn't enough, at that time she dated a German guy, whose father had a Konditorei!
