Collection: Ivo Kerssemakers

 

Ivo Kerssemakers is a Dutch American photographer born in the Netherlands based in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Kerssemakers uses long exposure to create large-format landscape and cityscape photographs devoid of people or movement. This stillness allows the viewer to experience extraordinary natural and historic environments without the distraction of people, cars, or other visual noise.

 

Kerssemakers’ long exposure technique transforms iconic natural and city landscapes into contemplative surrealist worlds untouched by humans. To achieve the effect, he uses neutral density filters and up to 16 stops with exposure times of over four minutes. Using a large-format printer, Kerssemakers creates archival works on canvas and fiber fine art paper.
