Light as language
Under the name Photos Are Bullets, Bastiaan Niemans creates a world in which photography becomes a form of meditation. His images, always imbued with silence and accuracy, capture the fragile beauty of reality.
In Kerbeleg :
A free look
On his website, the artist presents several worlds: portraiture, travel, weddings, nature and personal projects such as The Netherlands, GEONATURE and Holding Hands Across Borders.
Each reveals the same quest: to find emotion in simplicity and see beyond the obvious.
In the series The Netherlands, Bastiaan Niemans tells of rediscovering the freedom to photograph for himself, without expectation or commission. Armed with his small Fujifilm X100F, he photographs what he comes across every day: a reflection, a shadow or a passing light. This return to the essential gives his work a rare sincerity.
The right gesture
His portraits share the same restraint. The faces he captures breathe truth.
No forced poses or spectacular effects: just the light, the material and that suspended moment when everything seems in balance.
Even in his commissions, weddings and professional portraits, Niemans retains this quiet elegance. His gaze remains the guiding thread, discreet and profoundly human.
Discovering Finistère around Kerbeleg:
An invitation to see differently
To look at his photographs is to learn to slow down.
It’s about accepting that beauty is not something to be provoked, but something to be discovered.
Bastiaan Niemans ‘ images don’t scream, they whisper. They remind us that the world doesn’t need to be transformed to be wonderful: we just need to look at it with gratitude.
