Apeldoorn, Netherlands
Oscar de Wit-Snijder
Selvlært (1964), født i Rotterdam og oppvokst i Apeldoorn. Oscar de Wit har et kreativt sinn, går for kvalitet, elsker utfordringer og er en perfeksjonist i sitt yrke. Han fullførte sin MBO-utdanning og begynte å jobbe i detaljhandelen. Imidlertid fortsatte kreativiteten å holde ham opptatt, og så begynte han å male og tegne. På grunn av sin toppidrett har alt blitt satt på vent. Etter noen år begynte han å få lyst til å være kreativ igjen, og så begynte han å fordype seg i fotografi og redigering spesielt. Etter mange års eksperimentering utviklet han en unik stil.
Konturene av hans unike stil ('HDR-Old Style') ble synlige i hans første prosjekt om håndverk og monumentale bygninger i og rundt Apeldoorn. Over tid perfeksjonerte han stilen sin og begynte å dokumentere prosjekter i “sin stil”. Med sin autentiske stil fremkaller De Wit-Snijder en atmosfære av nostalgi og tar seeren tilbake til svunne tider.
Prosjekter
For eksempel har han dokumentert de “10 mest spesielle historiske bibliotekene i Nederland” og dette prosjektet har også blitt startet i Europa. Slottprosjektet har nå også startet i Nederland og Europa. De 7 slottene i Gelderland Landskap & Slott har blitt dokumentert, og en fotobok er under utvikling.
Fagblader
Oscar de Wit-Snijder har hatt prosjektene sine omtalt i ulike fagblader, som:
-IP I fagblad for informasjonsprofesjonelle
-Bibliotekblad
-Meta Vakblad - Belgia (Fagblad for biblioteker & arkiver)
-Pf – Profesjonelt Fotografi Magasin
