My photography

A personal way of seeing

My photography starts with subjects that fascinate or move me. Landscapes and nature hold a special place, but people, cultures and places attract my attention as well. With my images I try not only to show what I see, but above all to tell something about what fascinates me in a subject.

Photography as series and story

Route 66

A road that once symbolized hope and progress. A path that fell into decline and lives on today as an icon of a past that is being sold again.

Climate Change

Three images about a landscape in transition. Not as documentary evidence, but as a photographic reflection on fragility, loss and an uncertain future.

Film

Video

Film and video also appeal to me as ways of telling stories. Moving images, sound and time offer different possibilities for building atmosphere and interpreting a subject. Photography and film are different forms of the same need to translate what fascinates me into images.

Some films are available in HDR. On a compatible HDR display with supported playback, you get a wider brightness and colour range. Other devices display an SDR version.

Publications

Photo books

In my photo books, photography, the selection and sequence of images, design and text come together as one story. A book gives me the space to explore a subject more fully than individual images alone.

About Marnix

Discover Visualise Tell

My work starts first and foremost with my interest in and passion for a subject. It may be the beauty and vulnerability of a landscape, but equally a place, people and their culture, or a theme that moves or fascinates me. From that involvement comes the desire to tell something about it.

Images are my main language. That is why I often work in photographic series: they give me the space to approach a subject from different angles and build a story. Sometimes this results in a compact triptych, sometimes in a more extensive series.

Film, with movement, sound and time, offers me other ways to build a story and atmosphere. In my photo books, photography, image selection and sequence, design and text come together as parts of one whole.

Technique is never the starting point. My photographic and technical knowledge mainly gives me the freedom to capture and shape a subject as I see it. Technique serves the image — and ultimately the story I want to tell.
