Ruud Baan

Rudd Baan work of art is an mixture of portrait, sport and fashion photography his technique results in a wide range of work that shows off his ability to master the creativity of colour and energy. Ruud Baan combines all these elements has given Baan a reputation in all of these segments. In addition to this, Baan interestingly captures moments of movement in each of his images which distinguishes his work from others.

I like how Ruud Baan's work is has a very dramatic feel to it and makes me as an audience feel like I can do whatever I want. Baan uses a lot of water, smoke and air to present the drama he is trying to display.

This is my favourite Ruud Baan photograph. I like how Baan demonstrates fear and courage of water in just this single photograph. Courage is shown through the figure's posture as he bravely enters the deep blue water not showing any fear whatsoever. However, surrounded by the figure is the fear of the un-known and not knowing how deep the water is also adds to the fear of water. Furthermore, there is a sense of loneliness in this image because the figure is by himself only surrounded by water. This photo taken by Ruud Baan is the perfect contrast to demonstrate the fear and courage of water.
