My name is Ina Kleiman from The Netherlands and I'm from Hoogeveen. A small town in Drenthe. Photography has been my passion for years. From wedding photography to still lifes with flowers or fruit to landscapes. Still lifes allow me to indulge myself completely and I am mainly inspired by the old masters. The Dutch masters from the Golden Age like Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Vermeer or the landscapes of Constable, Jacob Van Ruysdael. History was always my favorite at school. Not only the work but also the stories behind the painter. I prefer to work with the natural light that enters the living room from your window and with which you can play. The preparation for my still lifes with flowers or fruit is always quite a challenge. Choosing the right colours, styling to execution is just as much fun as photographing yourself. I prefer working with the famous typical Dutch Products: Tulip, Delfts Blue and the Kissing Couple. It's for me nostalgics. My mother was from Indonesia but they were also her favorites.
Since I photograph I see nature through other eyes. Drenthe is the most beautiful landscapes from Holland. They look like paintings. I could always enjoy the cows in the meadow. Those typical Anton Pieck pictures. I can totally indulge myself with still lifes. During my training at the Photo Academy you had to choose a certain direction to increase your chances. Choosing is very difficult for me and why would I want that? My passion is also wedding photography. Making something beautiful can also be done as a wedding photographer. Capturing that one look or tear of the bride or groom in a photo. The emotions of that big tough guy with tattoos. I love it!
