Shots by Verne
'Shots by' is a new, accessible pocket-sized series on leading Belgian and Dutch photographers. The photographers discuss their oeuvre on the basis of mainly unpublished visual material. This series therefore also offers an exclusive look behind the scenes and comments on important choices, striking visual material, but also on the ups and downs of years of creativity. Collecting 'Shots' is a must; never before has a pocket-sized book offered such a collector's item with stimulating discussions, unpublished photographs and an outstanding print quality! The Belgian duo Verne start the series.For more than twenty years Eugene Van Groenweghe and Herman Van Hoey (Verne) have been travelling all over the world for books and magazines, often commissioned to do so, but more recently also increasingly motivated by their own thematic projects. This makes Verne an exciting duo that is active on a very wide front. The duo has also developed an extremely multi-faceted visual idiom over the last twenty years. In the course of time Verne has complemented the traditional ABC of the medium of photography (perfection, ideal pictures, exotic dream locations...) with work about 'real' life, such as the capricious and disturbing 'Cars&Girls'.This all makes Verne a story with unexpected twists, exhaustion and addiction, reconstruction and realism.
