(Mr Martin Broesterhuizen, president of photo club "Kontrast" in Tilburg, Netherlands last year at the opening of the exhibition "Digital Image Art".)
"One for the photography currently important question is:" To shop or not to shop, that's the question! "
You should not translate the word ' shop ' as shopping. As photographers shopping, they are working on Photoshop, the most widely used program for digital photo editing. In our photo club we have regular discussion on. On the one hand, there are photographers who want to use Photoshop only for small improvements to a captured image as perfect as possible. Others find that the digital tools is correct invented for far-reaching interventions, possibly also in less well made pictures. Sometimes parts of the image are cut away and other image elements added digitally.
Theo is undeniably a Photoshopper of the last kind. He goes beyond the typical user, which improves color, brightness, and contrast and retouch minor flaws. Proceeds In the way Theo, betrays itself are long past work as graphic artist. He not only combines his photos. He also creates new digital images. He does this from photos he has made, sometimes from elements he has selected, Theo calls himself on his website ' images photographer '. Me, it seems more fitting him with the contraction ' to describe picture graphic artist '. At Theo are the photographer and the graphic artist inextricably linked.
As I have just said, discussing photographers often about the boundary of photography. For an artist, so also a picture graphic artist, it is not so important or a created work still qualifies for the name "photo". It is a two-dimensional picture, that whether or not at the viewer enters. The experience of this exhibition is to you, as visitors ".
