Gert Lammerts

Gert Lammerts has been interested in all forms of art from an early age.
After completing his studie architecture, he continued at the Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture.
He works as a designer at an architectural firm where he has a preference for contemporary architecture; functionalism with a minimalist direction. His designs are characterized by a clear and readable design with room for interpretation.

His interest in photography changed when he first started working with models in 2011. Over the years, he has developed a preference for artistic nude photography, with (classical) sculpture being his greatest source of inspiration. The emphasis of his images is always on the poses and to a lesser extent on the model itself. Shapes, lines, muscle masses and the interplay of these play a major role. By directing the model and playing with light, he converts his ideas into images.
Or, as he often says: “I am more of a ‘directing’ than a ‘recording’ photographer.”

His preference for clarity and minimalism are also clearly visible in his photography. His photos are often characterized by a clear subject, positioned within a subordinate environment. His work is often described as ‘sculptural’.

Gert’s work is exhibited in galleries, halls and museums, both solo and together with other artists. His images also appeared in books, photography magazines and art calendars.
In 2022, Gert won the Royal Dutch Photography Association’s major Jubilee competition, and in 2026, he received a performance award. This award is presented to ‘photographers who consistently prove themselves to be better photographers’ (ed. Royal Dutch Photography Association). With this, he was also awarded the title of Honorary Photographer of the Dutch Photography Association.
