Test frames, chemistry mistakes, and rolls left unfinished. A short archival series about the useful parts of what does not work.
Three nights photographed from inside the studio, looking up at rain moving across the skylight. Long exposures on colour film.
A rural garden photographed over one growing season, without a shot list. Just visits, weather notes, and whatever was already there.
A short walking series in a stand of coastal pines north of the studio. Vertical trunks, filtered light, and the same three paths returning.
Vrieze Prints is a small photography studio led by Ellis Vandermeer. Prints are pulled by hand in editions of eight to twelve, numbered and signed on the reverse.
The studio publishes two to four new series each year. Long-term projects — the canal path, the pine woods, the cedar shelf — are extended slowly and shown in small formats.
