Black eyes, haggard, exhausted, possessed. Flowering beards on malingred bodies adorned with bones. A bowl for a bowl and the saint will have sacrifice for mantle. The sadhus, eternal clichés of Hindu mysticism, watch over Indian imagery. They are projected guardians of the Ganges and its sacred waters, nochers guiding the souls of the dead, impassive vigilantes reciting mantras before prostrate crowds or fasting in the wet belly of caves.00It is their way of being in the world, in reaction to the world, to carry their burden on a parallel path that Denis Rouvre admires among the Sadhus. In a form of non-identity straining towards annihilation, they oppose a resistance to the inevitability of their birth. They are those who are born to die, to no longer be. Individuals who brave the ordinary, the common lot. Of those who populate the portraits of the photographer. Of those who by their will, by their heroic posture, rise among the gods.

With 'Surf Tribe', photographer Stephan Vanfleteren shows that there is far more to surf culture than just sport and competition. Surfing is also about a deep admiration0and respect for the ocean, as well as the feeling of insignificance when confronted with the forces of nature. Surfers use the waves for fun, but also to forget and to battle, both with others and with themselves. Vanfleteren looks beyond the traditional borders of the United States and Australia and searches the globe for people who live in places where sea and land meet. He documents a fluid community, which has nature as its0sole leader. He portrays both young talent as well as living icons and old legends, both competition surfers and freesurfers.0No action shots on azure blue waves but static and serene black and white portraits in Vanfleteren's well-known, haunting style, which show the real people behind the surfers, in all their strength and vulnerability. A series of images that penetrates to the true core of surf culture. 00Exhibition: CC Scharpoord, Knokke-Heist, Belgium (24.03.-28.05.2018). Met Surf Tribe toont fotograaf Stephan Vanfleteren dat de surfcultuur veel meer omvat dan louter sport en competitie. Surfen gaat ook over het bewonderen en diep respecteren van de oceaan, het gevoel van nietigheid ten aanzien van de krachten van de natuur. Surfers gebruiken de golven voor de fun, maar ook om te vergeten en om te strijden, met anderen en met zichzelf. Vanfleteren kijkt voorbij de traditionele grenzen van de Verenigde Staten en Australië en zoekt over de hele wereld naar mensen die leven op plekken waar de oceaan het land raakt. Hij legt een vloeibare gemeenschap vast, die de natuur als enige leider heeft. Hij portretteert zowel jong talent als levende iconen en oude legendes, zowel competitiesurfers als freesurfers. Geen actiefoto's op azuurblauwe golven maar wel statische en serene zwart-witportretten in Vanfleterens gekende, beklijvende stijl, die de echte mensen achter de surfers tonen, in al hun kracht én kwetsbaarheid. Een beeldenreeks die doordringt tot de ware kern van de surfcultuur. Met honderden portretten van o.a. Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, John JohnFlorence, Mickey Munoz, Filipe Toledo en Stephanie Gilmore.

Drawing on 19th-century photo techniques, Izu's still lifes and portraits are poised between lustrous sensuality and austere grandeur. When Kenro Izu is taking photographs, he finds himself constantly challenged by a seductive voice urging him to make a “nice picture.” And Izu’s photographs are gorgeous―the artist, inspired by 19th-century photography methods, has been working with a large-format camera since 1983, making detailed, lustrous contact prints on hand-coated platinum palladium paper. A master technician, Izu is considered one of the greatest living platinum printers. But taking “nice pictures” is not what Izu sets out to do.The photographer aims instead to capture something of the spirit or inner life of his chosen subject―whether it be a still life or an ancient, sacred monument. Izu describes this tension between capturing the essence and beauty of the subject as an “effort to hold myself at the very edge (before falling into the dark hole of seduction).” Kenro Izu: Seduction presents the results of these efforts: photographs by Izu of fruits, plants and human figures, all made with a large-format film camera and contact printed in platinum from 8x10 to 14x20-inch negatives. Japanese-born, US-based photographer Kenro Izu (born 1949) studied at Nippon University in Tokyo before deciding to settle in New York. In 1979 he began what has become a lifelong project, traveling to photograph the world’s sacred places. His journeys to Angkor Wat led him to establish a free pediatric hospital in Cambodia and found Friends Without a Border, a nonprofit organization to help Asian children.

In 2015 portrait photographer Robin de Puy (1986) travels across America on a motorcycle. During this trip, an intimate portrait emerges in text and image of both herself as of the persons portrayed. In Ely, Nevada she found Randy. He rode past - fast - but in the split second she saw him she knew: De Puy had to know who this boy was. She took his portrait, left the town a few days later, and that was it - at least, that's what it seemed at the time. Back in Amsterdam Randy popped into her mind from time to time - it was impossible to know this boy and leave it at that single image. She looked him up again at the end of 2016, and then again in February 2017, and once more in May 2017. She turns him inside out, looks at him, stares at him and he lets her. In the Bonnefantenmuseum, Robin de Puy is presenting this portrait of Randy in the form of an installation that comprises photos and film. Exhibition: Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht, The Netherlands (26.01. - 13.05.2018). In 2015 maakte de Nederlandse fotografe Robin de Puy een roadtrip van 8.000 mijl door Amerika, die de basis zou vormen voor haar succesvolle debuut If this is True (2016). In die periode ontmoette ze Randy, een jongen uit een groot samengesteld gezin, wonend in het mijnstadje Ely, Nevada.De Puy maakte toen een portret van Randy, maar was zo onder de indruk dat ze hem tussen eind 2016 en mei 2017 nog verschillende keren opzocht om zijn wereld vast te leggen. ''Nooit eerder leerde ik iemand kennen die zo de ruimte geeft om te kijken, om te kijken naar hem.'' Het resultaat is een prachtig,intimistisch portret van een heel bijzondere jongen.Van 26 januari tot 13 mei 2018 vindt de gelijknamige tentoonstelling plaats in het Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.Robin de Puy is de huidige Fotograaf des Vaderlands in Nederland. Ze werkt onder andere voor de Volkskrant, ELLE en New York Magazine.
