Brigitte Mulders

Brigitte Mulders

Fine Art Photography

My name is Brigitte Mulders. For almost fifteen years, I have been involved in urban exploring. This means that I visit abandoned buildings and forgotten places where time seems to have stood still. Behind these locations, there is always a story. A piece of history that is often too small to make it into the history books, yet one that has had a profound impact on the lives of the people involved. The evidence of those stories often disappears quietly and unnoticed. I wander through these places for hours, trying to imagine what they were once like. In whose footsteps am I walking? How many children's shoes have worn down the stairs of a school? How many hands have played a piano? What kind of people once walked down the red-carpeted staircase of their grand villa? I see the beauty of these empty, abandoned places and capture it through my camera. I invite you to look with me and discover your own story. There is no right or wrong. We all have our own interpretation of the images we see. * Mijn naam is Brigitte Mulders. Al bijna vijftien jaar houd ik mij bezig met urban exploring. Dat betekent dat ik leegstaande gebouwen en verlaten plekken bezoek waar de tijd lijkt te hebben stilgestaan. Achter deze locaties schuilt altijd een verhaal. Een stukje geschiedenis dat vaak te klein voor de geschiedenisboeken maar een grote impact heeft gehad op de levens van de mensen die erbij betrokken waren. Het bewijs daarvan verdwijnt vaak stilletjes en ongemerkt. Ik dwaal er uren rond en probeer me voor te stellen hoe het er ooit was. In wiens voetsporen loop ik? Hoeveel kinderschoentjes hebben de trappen van een school uitgesleten? Hoeveel handen hebben een piano bespeeld. Welke mensen daalden ooit af over de rode loper op de trap in hun gigantische villa? Ik zie de schoonheid van deze lege, verlaten plekken en leg die vast met mijn camera. Ik nodig je uit om mee te kijken en je eigen verhaal te ontdekken. Niets is goed, niets is fout. We hebben allemaal onze eigen interpretatie van de beelden die we zien.

Fine Art Photography

Welcome! My name is Royke. Ask friends and family who I am and they will describe me as an entrepreneur, energy bomb and a chatter, but above all a fine art photographer. Photography and creativity have always been in my blood. This is how it all started:When I was young, I set out to take pictures of everything that was loose and stuck. Later this was further stimulated by my grandfather, with whom I turned out to share this passion. We regularly went out together to take photographs. We could wander around for hours trying to get that perfect shot. Secretly, I always looked forward most to the moment when we started developing the photos. I will never forget the magical feeling that analog cameras conveyed at that time. During my adolescence, digital photography became increasingly popular. On my birthday I received a small digital camera. From that moment on, the 'real photographer' in me was born. The interest in photography and art took on increasingly clear forms and I soon chose to study in that creative direction. In this way I ended up with various photographers where I did an internship and was able to assist on super cool and creative shoots. This is how I came into contact with professional, commercial and story-telling photographers. Longing for freedom In photography I can express my feelings, emotions and inspiration. The energy that is released in me when I have found the idea or location is what I want to capture on image. Creating images is therefore not only a passion for me, but also a real driving force. Inspire and be inspired. Inspire and be inspiredInspiration is essential to my work. This can suddenly arise at the most unexpected moments. I recently recorded a very nice podcast about this. Click here for the podcast. After all, inspiration and creativity cannot be controlled. Great sources of inspiration can be an interesting environment, museums, architecture, good conversations or persona, but also topics such as power. For me, the magic of discovery is an important part of the field that I could not do without. These discoveries are personal, but at the same time intended for a larger audience. That's why I like to share them, so that you can also enjoy the freedom that photography offers. After all, art is something that brings people together.
