Dave Veentjer's photostream  

Thanks for taking the time to look at my photography.

I graduated from Photography Studies College in Melbourne, Australia after completing an Advanced Diploma of Photography (photojournalism major) in 2009. I currently work as a professional documentary photographer available for hire. Please contact me through Flickr or via the details on my website.

Please e-mail me in regards to high resolution image files or for print purchase.

Peace :)

Now for some quotes...


"Faces belong to the people who look at them" - Richard Kalvar

"There is no formula for a good photograph. Mediocre pictures may follow a formula, good ones seldom" - Ed Feingersh

"Pictures make people feel less alone. They look at a picture and say, 'That's how I feel.' That's enough for me" - Unknown

"There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment" - Robert Frank

"Black and white are the colors of photography" - Robert Frank

"If you don't enjoy every moment of photography as a child does his toys and if you don't approach it with the same naivete, recklessness and abandon, no guidebooks, set-of-rules or photojournalism conferences, for that matter, are going to help!" - Art Kane

"The photographer must respect the mood, become integrated into the environment, avoid all the tricks that destroy human truth, and also make the subject of the photo forget the camera and the person using it. Complicated equipment and lights get in the way of naive, unposed subjects" - Henri Cartier-Bresson

"...as Robert Frost told a person who asked him what one of his poems meant, 'You mean you want me to say it worse?" - Robert Adams
