LoginContemporary Photography at Sille Gallery
Art photography is not just a technical act of capturing images; it is a form of art that captures emotions, stories and aesthetics. Photography as an art form has evolved into a powerful tool that allows photographers to express their creative vision and interpret the world around them.
This artistic dimension of photography is not just about capturing a moment, but creating a cohesive visual narrative. Photographers play with composition, light and shadow, and color palettes to achieve a unique atmosphere and emotional impact. The choice of subjects and the way they are captured attest to the artistic intentions of the photographer.
Photography as an art form
Whether capturing the raw emotion of a portrait, the subtlety of a landscape, or exploring abstract concepts, photography as an art form continues to evolve and inspire. It is a medium that gives photographers the freedom to put their personal stamp on the world and challenge us as viewers to find beauty in different perspectives.
Photography as an art form not only has the ability to capture reality, but also to transform it. Experimenting with techniques such as long exposure, double exposure and abstraction allow photographers to explore the limits of creativity and create unique, sometimes dreamy, images.
Progressive art photographers
In our collection we have four progressive photographers that we present at our gallery. Some of which even hang in museums and have received multiple art awards. You will find these artists Hans Withoos, Jenny Boot, Kaat Stieber and Barend Houtsmuller in our photography collection.

Fine Art Prints
Our contemporary art photographers choose to have the print printed on high quality photo paper including Hahnemühle Photo FineArt Baryta®. This gives a pixel result with high color depth and image sharpness. The dibond sheet (a 2-layer aluminum with plastic in between) provides a support that cannot warp. There is a profile on the back so the photo will hang beautifully floating on the wall.
To protect the photo print on paper, another layer of acrylic glass, Diasec®, can be placed in front of it. This can be in glossy, anti-reflex or TruLife. This is 99% UV-resistant and has a 1.5% reflectance. But there are more possibilities. Some of our artists use the HD-Finish technique. Using heat technology (sublimation), the dibond is coated with water-resistant inks that are incorporated into the top layer. No further finishing is required in this process.
But framing the photography and presenting it behind museum glass in a display case, for example, is also pleasing to the eye. Our art photographers have their fine-art prints made by the three leading printers and framers. These are in the Netherlands: Het Beeldgebouw, Martin Zwaan and Wilco Vak.
