The first time I encountered Rembrandt was at age 8, in a slide show at the Shanghai Children Palace for artistically talented children. The teacher explained the Nightwatch in remarkable detail. His work immediately impressed me, maybe because as one scholar noted: "his work is closer to Chinese painting in technique and feeling than to anything in European art before the twentieth century". Later, my father, fine art editor, gave me a Chinese Art Encyclopedia from 1936 about Western art, including Rembrandt (not too long after the end of the Cultural revolution). I pursued art as a career throughout my childhood, attended the Fine Art universities of Shanghai and Beijing, and developed my own style. It took almost two decades after that first encounter before I saw Rembrandt's work with my own eyes, on a visit to the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam in 1999 with my Dutch fiance, who became my husband one year later. We moved to the Netherlands in 2004, and have our own gallery in Kampen since 2012. With 2019 being the Rembrandt year, I felt that I had to create something special for the occasion. In the end, I decided on an artistic scarf, using my experience with the famous high-end fashion brand "Shanghai Stories": at their request I designed a dozen scarves for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, which became bestsellers for this company. I created a digital art piece, incorporating the cover of the art book that my father gave me, my father's handwriting on the book's cover, a sample from Rembrandt's Nightwatch, some Chinese phrases, unpublished scarf designs from my past, various personal memories, and samples from a number of my own paintings. A nice detail is the Chinese phrase "He Lan shui", which means Dutch water, a term used in China for carbonated beverages - and a hint at Rembrandt's family name, van Rijn (the Rhine river). The resulting piece "Remembrandt" was printed on silk, making a 135x31cm scarf that is displayed on a vintage mannequin model.Art Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10489812058048433637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396019728131513694.post-19049722051406255372018-05-24T02:27:00.001-07:002018-05-24T02:27:32.606-07:00Metropolis<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

City life has always been an inspiration from Lu Schaper, who herself hails from the metropolis of Shanghai. It can be people walking over the streets, ancient street cars, or anything else that is representative for city life. A few examples below.<br />

When people meet for a rendezvous, anything can happen. When this subject appears in the art of Lu Schaper, there is often such a sense of mystery as well. Some examples below.</div>

Lu and Hennie Schaper opened Galerie LuS in 2012 in the main shopping street (Oudestraat) of the beautiful Hanseatic medieval city of Kampen. In 2015 the gallery was moved to a new, much larger location, even closer to the centre (Oudestraat 143). The new gallery includes an exhibition space, as well as a studio in which Lu can create her works. <br />
<br />
The main purpose of Galerie LuS is to show a frequently changing selection of the art of Lu Schaper. In addition, themed exhibitions are scheduled, and on some occasions, other artists have been provided with the chance to exhibit in the gallery. The location is also used a few times per year for art-related workshops. The gallery does not have fixed opening hours, but the owners aim to open Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon, and on appointment.<br />
<br />
The name of the gallery (LuS) is derived from the name of Lu S(chaper), but it also refers to her pen name (Haishang Lus), under which she has become famous in Shanghai for her columns in local newspapers and magazines. Lus in mandarin means stork or heron.<br />
<br />
The gallery's sign (shown above) was designed by Lu Schaper, based on two of her paintings. The Chinese text refers to her Father's art gallery in Shanghai in the eighties.<br />

In 2012, Lu and Hennie Schaper moved to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampen,_Overijssel" target="_blank">Kampen</a> in the province Overijssel, Netherlands and opened Galerie LuS. The city of Kampen was the most important Dutch city in the 14th century, a prominent member of the North-West European Hanseatic League, and it has one of the best preserved medieval centres of the Netherlands. Of course, the old buildings, the local customs and the sailing ships on the IJssel have inspired Lu over the years. A selection below.<br />

This is an overview of web sites using my photographs. It does not include appearances in photography blogs, Instagram pages, Flickr groups and so on. The counter is at 28 for the time being. As so often on the internet, links tend to disappear with time, but the screenshots are here.<br />

When I created this "motivational poster" from one of my most popular shots, I did expect it to be used on other sites. And it was. Several have gone the way of the dodo without me making screenshot, but this one on the New Media Rights site ist still there.

In2009 the Houston-based real estate site Swamplot used a picture I took to illustrate a story about the expected closure of the Borders bookstores. I shot this one at the Westheimer Borders parking lot, waiting for the rain to stop before going to the shop. Sadly, indeed this Borders is no more.

Here we have a Japanese photography site (Naver) highlighting four basic rules of photography composition (rule of thirds, rule of odds, rule of space, rule of diagonal), using one of my shots to illustrate the rule of odds concept.

Three for the price of one... My shot <i>Preparing for the Elfstedentocht</i> (top left in the mosaic) proved to be very popular that winter, as it was used to illustrate three different web based articles on Dutch skating tours, including the Elfstedentocht itself (which was unfortunately cancelled). Links used to be <a href="http://www.dagjeweg.nl/nieuwsredactie/16985/Dagje%20uit%20dit%20weekend!?utm_source=DagjeWeg.NL+E-krant&utm_medium=nieuwsbrief&utm_campaign=Weekend" target="_"blank"">here</a>, <a href="http://www.rnw.nl/english/bulletin/eleven-cities-tour-not-go-ahead" target="_"blank"">here</a> and <a href="http://www.significancemagazine.org/details/webexclusive/1475519/Cold-as-Ice---the-Dutch-and-the-Elfstedentocht.html" target="_"blank"">here</a>.

Now here is a fitting and noble use of one of my shots. I actually re-made this version of an older shot, applying the pink colour in photoshop, for a breast cancer awareness group on Flickr.

End of March 2018, the nautical spectacle Sail Kampen will be held for the sixth time since 2002. Billed as the largest Easter event in the Netherlands, it is expected to draw over 200000 visitors to the beautiful old Hanseatic city at the borders of the IJssel. Among the ships that will sail in, is a century old wooden sailing ship <i>Saeolöer</i>, whose owner is one of the most special participants of the event. His name is Deke Erh (depicted above), famous freelance photographer and explorer from Shanghai.<br />

Now in his late fifties, Deke Erh picked up photography as a teenager, when his father gave him a Kodak camera. It was the time of the dreaded Cultural Revolution, and as he has stated in an interview, he could not see a future. So instead, he looked back, he looked at history. His life-long interest in the old Shanghai cityscape started in those days. As Shanghai's development accelerated, more and more old parts of town were bulldozed to make way for high-rise buildings. Erh has managed to document much of the old city, including the Art Deco riches of the twenties and thirties, before they were destroyed forever. Several books have been published on these subjects with his photographs as illustration (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=deke+erh" target="_blank">link</a>). More recently, his aerial views of Shanghai, shot from helicopters, capture the imagination of viewers worldwide.<br />

His interest in history goes beyond the amazing metropolis that is his home. A fairly recent example is his exploration of the Silk Road, the ancient network of trade routes that connected Europe and Asia. He actually traveled by car from Shanghai to Hamburg in Germany, documenting the ancient sites along the way with his cameras. The next phase of this project is to explore the sea route of the Silk Road, which he intends to do with his ship <i>Saeolöer.</i> The trip from Germany to Kampen can be seen as final rehearsal for this.<br />

The shot that really started things for me: this was the first one that got a lot of reactions and faves on Flickr, and is still one of my most popular photographs. A chance encounter at the railway station in the morning for my daily commute, when everything just came together: the silhouetted figures and the light of the sun breaking through the fog. Straight out of camera by the way.<br />
<br />

This portrait of our cocker spaniel Jazz was my first shot to make Flickr Explore, and also the first in which I did more post-processing than just cropping, in particular applying a smoothing soft-focus effect.
<br />

I had been stalking this swan with its cygnets for a few days, when they finally came close enough to the shore of the lake near our home (at the time) to catch them. In spite of the popularity of this shot, it did not reach Flickr Explore, whereas another less popular shot in the same series I took that day did.<br />

An early shot from 2007, but it took 2 years before I appreciated its qualities (helped by more post-processing than I did initially) and posted it on Flickr. Even then, it took a while before I decided it was one of my better shots. It is the reflection of trees in our garden table - leading to an image that is at the same time peaceful and complex.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
An early shot, but a favourite one - and a popular one. As one comment at Flickr put it: "The goat is somewhat creepy - who the heck's seen a goat silhouette?" Nowadays I would probably push the contrast more, but I decided to leave at as it was.

A chance snapshot of a passer-by whilst walking from the restaurant to the car. The black-and-white conversion really adds to the impact of the shot. A personal favourite.<br />

Part of an experimental series where I made shots of recent architecture or city scapes look ancient by applying a suitable texture. This is my favourite, the London Eye does not look at all like your typical tourist shot in this version.<br />

This is a rather unusual decoration piece, encountered in the famous interior decoration shop of Jan de Bouvrie in Naarden, and photographed with what one commentator called "a no-prisoners tight crop and exaggerated perspective".<br />

This is a close-up of a paper sculpture by Elsa Visser. From a composition point of view, the important characteristics here are the use of negative space and the golden ratio (placement of the eye on a golden ratio focal point).</div>

China is the topic here - in Hennie Schaper's own words: "China is a wonderful country which I've visited over a dozen times. Mainly Shanghai (my wife's place of birth), but also Beijing, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shenyang, Fushun, and Hangzhou. Unfortunately most of these visits were before I got interested in photography, so apart from an occasional Beijing shot, this will be all about Shanghai for the time being. But who knows what the future will bring." Comments are by the photographer, clicking the images will lead you to the corresponding Flickr page.

Shanghai's modern Pudong district seen from across the Huangpu river with the setting sun cooperating very well. In July 2009, the New York Skyscraper Museum used this photograph with my permission in their exhibition on Shanghai.</div>

I took this photograph of my wife staring out of the window of an art studio in the centre of Shanghai. These older neighbourhoods are disappearing one by one, making way for high-rise apartment towers. The sad feeling of loss and destruction is well mirrored in this image, I think.<br />

If I had to choose my top favourite shot, this is certainly a candidate. It is half-candid: we chanced upon a traditional Chinese wedding shoot in Beijing, and I got this one in from a different angle than the real photographer. I simply love the setting, and most of all the look of love in her eyes.<br />

Another shot taken in Shanghai's Fuxing Park (French Park). Dozens of Shanghainese couples, typically in the 40-60 years range, dance on the streets of the park to the sound of romantic music coming from a portable CD player. As so often in China there is a grim reality behind this. Many of them have been fired from their jobs, being uneducated thanks to the disastrous Cultural Revolution policy, and now being replaced by young bright university graduates. Still, they try to enjoy life the best way they can, getting a bit of exercise at the same time.<br />

The most touristic part of Shanghai is the Old Town, where you will find thousands of shops selling souvenirs of low value and high price. This fan merchant did not manage to sell me anything, but I came away with a good photograph instead. It made Flickr Explore and has also been used as illustration for <a href="http://artrock2006.blogspot.nl/2009/12/asian-art-museum-shanghai.html" target="_blank">a Shanghai special</a> by the internet site Asian Art Museum.<br />

Perhaps not your standard Shanghai shot, but for the middle class locals, this is very much part of their life. A corridor of the private rooms section of a restaurant, meant for groups of around 10-20 people. We were invited to take part in a celebration by a group of artists and I managed to snap this one in-between courses.<br />

One of two rather similar shots (see also theme shot above). In 2007, I photographed a few of these reflections in a puddle near where we lived at the time and after one look, forgot all about them. Early 2009 I was going through my hard disk looking for suitable unused shots, and these two came up. Flipping them upside down and giving them an after-treatment to simulate the Lomo camera effect had excellent results. They are now among my favourite shots.</div>

In February 2012, the Netherlands was once more suffering from Elfstedentocht fever: this ice skating race over 200 km can only be held in rare circumstances, and for awhile it looked like it might happen that year.

At the end of 2007, a severe night frost in combination with wet trees created an absolute winter wonderland for a day.

One of my first autumnal shots is still the most popular in terms of faves, and re-posts on other sites - and it is featured in Stumble Upon as well.

This candid will always be dear to me: it was the first photograph of mine that was exhibited in public, as it was selected as one of the 20 best submissions for the competition "Relaxed in Almere". I was walking with the dog in the park when I saw this little scene of a father and his kids searching for that last bit of snow - and was fortunate to have a camera with me.<br />

I shot this scene on a foggy day in the park near our Almere home. I was not sure whether it was good enough to share on the web, but in the end I posted it to Flickr. It exploded on me, rapidly collecting dozens of faves from fellow Flickrites, and soaring high in Flickr Explore.<br />

One of two similar shots that both reached Explore. It is the hood of a parked car near our home, showered with autumn leaves.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Over a year passed between taking this shot and posting it on Flickr. During that time I learned more about post-processing and that paid out in the quality of the shot (the lomo-like treatment really made it stand out). It is the same car as shown above.<br />

The fence of our Almere neighbours at the time - beautiful contrast between the autumn leaves and the texture of the fence. This was also one of my first photographs that was used as illustration on a web site, in this case for wood maintenance.Art Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10489812058048433637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396019728131513694.post-25056035772701568302017-04-08T06:44:00.000-07:002018-12-15T02:18:57.113-08:00We'll always have Paris<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We'll always have Paris.... and the rest of France. Here are a number of examples from Hennie Schaper's portfolio on this theme, with his own descriptions (click on the images to see them in his Flickr site). Comments are by the photographer, clicking the images will lead you to the corresponding Flickr page. The link for the theme photograph of the Notre Dame above can be found <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/4915405602" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
This wonderful scene of a granddaughter and grandfather at the banks of the Seine is a personal favourite. A timeless feeling helped by the black-and-white conversion, and good framing with the tree branch at the top.
<br />

The Paris Metro, the best way to get around of course. I love the way the lines converge in the vanishing point.<br />

<br />
<br />
Any time you sit down on a French terrace (in this case Rouen), there will be pretty girls sitting a few tables further. The trick is to capture them from this close without them noticing it, to maintain that unposed feeling that makes candids so attractive. This is one of the best results I have obtained so far.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I would love to take full credit for this one, saying that I carefully planned it with just the right camera setting to get this dreamy out-of-focus effect. But I won't. It was a happy mistake: not every technical failure is an artistic failure...<br />

<br />
Bumping into someone else's model shoot always gives great opportunities to capture a model from a totally unique angle. In combination with the early autumn leaves scattered around, I love this shot that I took in the Luxembourg Park. One of my all-time favourites.
<br />

<br />
The first of two silhouette shots taken shortly after one another in Blois, while walking back from the Loire river to the town. I love them equally, and they are still sufficiently different to include them both.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And here we have the second one. Different location in Blois, different people, different birds....
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When I started photographing (beyond holiday shots) in 2007, I would have deleted this shot as a failure. Now I love it - never mind that it was an accident that the girl in front walked into the shot as I took it. This was taken at the Paris Pont des Arts near the Louvre.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/4164618661" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSRKxq7vH5rMrdoUJmn8mt6fxfLKtT6uNrYXRUoWblqWQY6rdWG7B2REd0hwkMSjoafNAgh5GYGDa3lFexC-DzpmD1dNcwSSdc5CkIxDEespGEnWftp3WVxE3YCT2Q_nzjYW-K2l-j7kVI/s400/Rouen+cathedral.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
We lived in Rouen from 2002 until 2004, and we visited the town once more in 2009. The cathedral, famous for the Monet paintings, is still worthwhile, but when I took this snapshot I did not expect the responses to be so positive - it even reached Explore.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This was taken in the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, a perfect example of using the frame-within-a-frame composition technique. I also use this for the header of my main blog <a href="http://artrock2006.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Art for Art's Sake</a>.</div>

<br />
In addition to the five themed contributions on abstract art photography, it is now time for a final set, for pictures that do not fall under those themes (or at least less clearly). What they have in common is that you can encounter these opportunities all around you if you keep an open eye. Of course, there are plenty of these in Hennie Schaper's photography as well.<br />
<br />
Here are a number of examples, with his own descriptions (click on the images to see them in his Flickr site).<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is called <i>Something for nothing</i> for a reason: check the link to see the drab original shot of rubbish floating on a canal - which almost no-one would have photographed. Pushing the inherent but weak colours to the extreme yields a beautiful abstract.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/8700406723" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Volcanic abstract by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Volcanic abstract" height="400" src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8253/8700406723_ba097de1db.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
The top of a market stand near our home against a blue sky. The shape of the tent and the shadow of the tree on the linen create an abstract feeling.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/14308472970" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Another green world by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Another green world" height="300" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2900/14308472970_b0f84a3429.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
A plastic green curtain pressed against a window. I bet hardly anyone notices it, and yet it makes for a compelling abstract photograph.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/14085861228" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Found diptych by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Found diptych" height="300" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2935/14085861228_4dca16a6d5.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I encountered this at an art exhibition. A rusty table used to support an art installation, and a blue carpet under it. Taking the shot like this makes a natural diptych with definite abstract qualities.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/14356829006" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Fifty shades of green by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Fifty shades of green" height="300" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5502/14356829006_2dbbce2848.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
A garden seen through frosted glass - the main trick here being to look around for opportunities (it was at the same exhibition as the previous shot).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/7364438778" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Harbor wall abstraction by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Harbor wall abstraction" height="285" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7215/7364438778_21f862e4a8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The wall decoration of the local harbour. Pure line play, with a particular strong composition (as discussed <a href="http://imagecomposer.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/harbor-wall-abstraction/" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/12923375893" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Let there be light by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Let there be light" height="400" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2884/12923375893_345c71fa16.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Not really zooming in, since this shot represents the largest part of a lamp displayed in the shop window of a local home decoration shop. The competing horizontal and vertical patterns, and the hues caused by the back-lighting turn this into a personal favourite.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/7344830688" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Abstract in rope and shadow by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Abstract in rope and shadow" height="400" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7095/7344830688_f863030b54.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
A rope against the side of a ship can already make a nice abstract due to the shapes in the background. The extra line created by the shadow of the rope is a bonus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/14662978818" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Emotions by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Emotions" height="300" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3908/14662978818_84d720641d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Similar to the third example (same house, different window, same type of curtains). The effect here is still sufficiently different to include this one as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/15624687538" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Kampen roofs by Hennie Schaper, on Flickr"><img alt="Kampen roofs" height="300" src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7518/15624687538_cc630e3d6d.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Rooftops near our home, creating a beautiful contrasting pattern, enhanced by the various colours. You can immediately see what it is, and yet the overall effect is abstract.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/29619879270" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Rolls 1"><img alt="Rolls 1" height="300" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8004/29619879270_65391cc047_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
A freight ship moored at the banks of the IJssel, transporting a large number of coils, made for a good abstract. The black and white conversion helps to bring out the pattern, with the diagonal composition working very well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/26061722576" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Approaching red [2016 087/366]"><img alt="Approaching red [2016 087/366]" height="300" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/2/1533/26061722576_618a3c099e_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
There is some wear and tear here as well, but the big red line anchors the composition. It is the top of a wooden bollard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/4970297196" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBa_1qQQR8C9LUR6C4SDVtzNJOSXs5LEnxleUHVLGZGQrmrRmWRW3ydy2mRWfxkUSFDAETMba4dSUS0jlOlM6cWNGtDFd9DFx3KAeW0jhGXPeqV9kRy_MZo2U5n_TUhbzmTBCMA5KnHy1a/s400/4970297196_e6175e2bca_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I spotted this beautiful abstract pattern as a decoration on a Paris apartment building. A pretty big hit on Explore.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/artrock2006/10016385193" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDD6RlG9pQaY1iNXvfiVlNT_RrsF6htepmKytYNv2WL3Bq2qhomM_xZ5Qrl3_tOiq_lkOdaQl5iRyy5-A-cbyDOkk7cW2bdAuNvBtVkZEjc0vmRJEmd3ZqGHgcCe_o6wl8I_YTHorGFaDv/s400/10016385193_9cfee600ff_z.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

This is a decoration of a Japanese restaurant in Nijmegen. The shells form a distinct pattern which makes for a great abstract.<br />

<br />
Art pieces can be turned into abstractions as well, as shown by several examples in Hennie Schaper's photography.<br />
<br />
In his own words: "Photographing art with the purpose to create something new - rather than a simple depiction - is one of the harder things to do. Creating abstracts this way is even more difficult. Usually, the art piece will be a sculpture, and by focusing on a detail, one may get the abstract one wants. As always, lines and patterns play a dominant role in this." <br />
<br />
Here are a number of examples, with his own descriptions (click on the images to see them in his Flickr site).<br />

<br />
A detail of a paper sculpture encountered during the 2012 Kampen Art Weekend. The artist is Elsa Visser. By focusing on the hole, with a plethora of leading lines around it, I created an abstract feeling, enhanced by the black and white conversion.<br />

This is a close-up of a huge paper sculpture by Machteld Wijlacker, exhibited at the Zwolle Museum. The high contrast black-and-white version with its 50 shades of grey, suggest an original 2D art piece.<br />

<br />
A huge art installation near my wife's Shanghai studio, photographed from the bottom. Great patterns, and of course with this luscious red, a black and white version would not be suitable. Even though it reminds me a bit of the vintage BBC comedy Red Dwarf, I think it is still sufficiently abstract.<br />

<br />
Zooming in can turn every day scenes into unexpected abstracts. There are plenty of examples in Hennie Schaper's photography.<br />
<br />
In his own words: "When I use the term 'zooming in' for abstractions, I am not talking so much about macro photography with special lenses, as well as picking a detail of a larger subject to create the abstract photograph. In many ways, the imagination is the limit. There is no binding theme between the various abstract shots created this way, the usual abstract ingredients like line play and patterns will always come into play though."<br />

A shot I took through a Paris shop window at night - talk about challenging conditions! It is a detail of a bridal dress.<br />

<br />
Whilst shopping in Bocholt (Germany), we encountered an old Peugeot car that was used as decoration in a mall. I zoomed in one of the headlights, creating an image that hovers between abstract and surreal depiction (it sometimes reminds me of an insect).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5094/5513486563_69d3c60f5c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5094/5513486563_69d3c60f5c.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Most of the time for these abstracts, zooming in means getting the camera close to the object as well. This one is an exception: this is a cut-out of a large 76 number spotted on a wall. The composition, covering the corners, helps as well.<br />
<br />
<br />

This one is all about curves and rectangles. The black and white conversion makes the white curve stand out even more. It is a zoomed in shot of a jumbo jet engine, displayed at Schiphol airport.<br />

Not just an abstract, but also a study in zen-like elegant minimalism. This is part of a restaurant decoration in Amsterdam, shot under an angle to get a diagonal composition.<br />

<br />
A crowd favourite, and one of my own as well. Also a clear illustration about one of the general principles about abstract photography: "if your abstract is a detail shot, also take a shot of the overall subject for reference. It is embarrassing to have a successful abstract photograph, and when asked for more information, failing to remember what it actually was." All I remember is that it was in the German city of Leverkusen, and that it is a zoomed-in shot. But of what? A piece of art? A piece of machinery? I will have to go back there one day.....<br />

<br />
Wear and tear, the effect of time on materials like stone, wood and metal, can create beautiful abstract images, often resembling abstract paintings. There are plenty of examples in Hennie Schaper's photography.<br />
<br />
In his own words: "Like with all abstractions, it is essential to keep an eye open for suitable subjects. As an example, every time I come into an old European church, I look at the pillars and the walls, for possible abstracts. Another example one frequently encounters is rust, especially when it occurs in combination with painted metal around it. Although in some cases there may be shapes and line play at work as well, more often than not, the abstract effect comes from combining different colours, so black and white conversion is almost never a good idea for this theme. On the other hand, pushing the natural colours to extreme levels often lead to excellent results."<br />
<br />

I took this one in Kampen's main church (Bovenkerk). Six centuries of wear and tear left beautiful patterns on the supporting columns, with colours enhanced a bit in Picasa. One of my own favourites</div>

A restaurant seat in Apeldoorn. Although now used in a covered shopping mall, it looks like it has spent quite some time outside as well. The holes in the seat add an interesting touch to the overall pattern.</div>

I came across this beauty in a side street in Prague. Just a stone wall, where time left its mark in beautiful shapes and colours (which I pushed a lot in post-processing in Picasa). The result is an abstract that reminds me of Klimt in its colour settings.</div>

This one could have gone under "zooming in" as well. It is a close-up of a compressor on a navy ship we visited during Sail Kampen 2014. An excellent example of coloured patterns caused by rust, in combination with the lines of the compressor fan.</div>

An early shot of mine, taken in Amsterdam. A door of a canal house with paint having peeled off over time. Pushed the colour quite a lot in post-processing, resulting in an abstract that reminds me of the paintings of de Stael.</div>

Another look at a rusted metal surface, this time found in Kampen. It is simple, yet effective. One can view it as a pure abstract, or let it evoke a scenery ("sunset over the lake").</div>

In the second half of her stay in France, the style of Lu Schaper took another turn. She renewed her interest in topics from the golden years of Shanghai, and combined it with a much more expressionist approach, inspired by seeing dozens of works by original German expressionist masters like Marc and Macke in German museums. The resulting style was dubbed Shanghai Expressionism, and would dominate her works for many years to come, also after her move to the Netherlands end 2004. The following is a selection of her works in that style.</div>
