Album 'Flamenco Red':

A good friend of us, Gerda van Kleef, dances already for years the Flamenco and takes any effort to reach a level of perfection in her art. She takes dance lessons, studies Spanish and orientated herself intensively to anything that matters to Flamenco. A Hobby to be proud of and that you like to share with other people. The have many performances every year. Also she has brought the fire of the Flamenco to her gracious daughter Manon. So they form for many years, together with Carmen Blaauboer, the dance group ‘Grupo Fiësta España’.

They liked to make a new promotion folder and so I’ve got the opportunity to make a series of photographs in their studio. Amazing how the turn into complete different characters when the fire of the Flamenco hits them.

Some pictures I elaborated for my album and to bring out the strength and tension.

These series has converted into black and white with reduction of the tone scale and I added some red accents. So I gave the title ‘Flamenco Red’ to the album.
