Colorful People
In the Colorful People series, Richard Westerhuis experiments with colored light in different colours. The color determines the mood of the photo. Can we look beyond color? -
Powerful Fragility
In Powerful Fragility Richard Westerhuis did not place his models in graceful poses; he let them choose a pose in which they feel safe and secure. An attitude that felt natural to them, but which at the same time also looks powerful and vulnerable. -
Through the second skin
In Through The Second Skin Richard Westerhuis makes painfully clear how much we need to shield ourselves in order to escape the bombardment of information in our society in order to stay with ourselves. -
Back Buttocks Stool
Back Buttocks Stool is a crossing of traditional ideas about portrait photography, because the face is missing. The series also raises questions about vulnerability. -
Rubber Identity
In Rubber Identity, the models' hair is covered with a vintage bathing cap: a relic from a bygone era with flowers and studs. A time when progress and social liberation clashed with the demands of conformed behavior, strict social norms and tradition. -
Whanganui
In Whanganui Westerhuis investigates the vulnerable relationship between man and nature. Despite the fact that we desperately need the water for our survival, seas and rivers are becoming more and more polluted by human behavior. -
Perpetual Stillness
In this series Richard Westerhuis explores the boundaries between traditional portraiture and contemporary portrait photography. The portraits are made in the traditional Dutch tradition, but with an original contemporary twist.
