Jaap Scheeren
Jaap Scheeren (1979) graduated from the St Joost Academy in
Breda and quickly became known for his fun, humorous and even
absurd photographic style. Yet, Scheeren is also excels at empathy,
such as in the book Oma Toos, a moving, photographic
portrait of his grandmother. In the book 3 Roses, 9 Raven, 12
Months however, his images reveal an unmistakable irony. The
photographs were inpired by a book of Slovakian fairytales.
