Hendrik Kerstens, an award winning Dutch photographer, is influenced by his ancestors, the master painters of the seventeenth century whose portraits captured everyday life. One is reminded of Vermeer in a series of portraits Kerstens photographed of his daughter, Paula. Interestingly, Kerstens' whimsical use of head gear, modern household objects such as toilet paper, a garbage bag, a lampshade, does not detract from the regal quality of the images. Conversely, the result is a unique contemporary perspective on a classic art form.
