Piece description from the artist
Located in Utah, Zion National Park is the first of the American National Parks that I ever visited after I started a road trip with my girlfriend through the Southwestern United States. Landing in Las Vegas made this the obvious first destination and I was amazed at it's grandeur and size, I am from Belgium which is very flat and also quite small so this made a big impression on me. I made a lot of my trademark double exposures there, which can be found elsewhere on this site, but I also wanted to capture the colors and formations as they presented themselves to me on this first amazing day of our trip. This is the result of those attempts on that overcast day.
My name is Robin Vandenabeele and I am a independent photographer that specializes in double exposure photography of subjects from all over the world.
A small word on how i make my art.
I walk around looking for interesting graphical shapes with a lot of contrast between light and shadows.
I take a first exposure, rotate the camera 180° and then take a second exposure that is immediately merged with the first exposure, all in camera. The resulting photograph is a re-interpretation of a scene firmly based in reality but rendered oneiric and surreal because of the multiple exposure technique.
The artwork feels at the same time familiar and puzzling, as the brain tries to make sense of what the eye sees.
I used to travel a lot as a stage builder on large international music tours and on my days off I could always be found exploring and recording my newfound surroundings, first with film cameras and later with a full frame digital slr.
Having held this occupation for over 20 years allowed me to grow and refine in my art and also grow a sizable portfolio of original double exposure travel images.
