Who is Paul Hoogeveen? As a professional I work in the area of finance, supporting management on budgets, reporting and analysis.
I am a sports addict. I love to play golf, exercise in the gym and run on a regular basis.
I have a passion for travelling around the globe, meet interesting people, understand different cultures and enjoy beautiful landscapes.
I am eager to set new goals, to live life to the max. Cannot recall the last time I was bored.
I want to share my passion for photography with YOU!
Both my mother and grandfather were amateur painters. They learned me the basics of composition. At an early age, just as every kid, I played with old camera's.
Growing up my parents took me to art museums, but my passion for photography really kicked off when I started travelling outside Europe. For my trip to Canada in 2006 I decided to buy my first digital SLR. Over the last 18 years I have visited different continents and countries such as Argentina, Peru, South Africa, Malaysia, Cuba, Vietnam, Mexico, Thailand and many more.
The desire to improve my photography skills started in 2011 when I joined Columbus, a platform for travel photography. Initially I focussed primarily on landscapes, wildlife and city photography. Over the past few years I also got interested in architecture, still life, people and street photography. I am part of Gurushot´s Friendly Dutch Team.
Over the past 10+ years I have developed G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) as I got interested in film photography. I spent quite some time in reading about old Kowa Six, Mamiya, Rolleiflex, Leica, Bronica, Olympus, Nikon and several other mediumformat, rangefinder and other camera's and have collected several interesting cameras and lenses. I try to shoot with nearly all of them. It.s a lot of fun and they produce images that have more 'soul' than digital. I experience with (long) expired film rolls. Since my collection has reached its limit, I every now and then sell some of these camera' s. I have a fully operational darkroom.
I am trying to capture beauty and share my work with others. Whether this is a reflection of a building in the roof of a car, 'bokeh' backgrounds of backlit leaf in the forest, a smile on someones face, contrasts in color, direction and size in streetphotography.
While streetphotography is my big passion, I also wish to develop myself in several other directions such as portraiture, macro and abstracts/still life photography.
My work is for sale at EyeEm. You can find some of my work on Flickr (no updates), Gurushots, YouPic, Instagram and Facebook (no updates) as well (see chapter Links).
Please send me an email if you have questions or recommendations. Thank you for your visit!
