Excellent collection of portraits!!

Hans Koot , October 02, 2004; 03:29 P.M.

'k was van plan om even wat van je werk te bekijken, echter er was zoveel moois te zien dat ik er een commentaar op je portfolio van maak. Je portretten zijn mooi, bijzonder en eigen, maar je stapt ook moeiteloos het Toscaanse land in om er een schitterende serie neer te zetten.

groetjes en bedankt voor deze blik in je werk.

Theo Keijzers , October 05, 2004; 05:19 P.M.

Bedankt Hans voor je mooie commentaar, altijd leuk om te horen. En ik blijf leren om goed met analoog om te gaan in deze digitale tijd.

A far too late thank you to Jacques for your comments.

Bram Meijer , October 09, 2004; 03:38 A.M.

Heel bijzonder

Vooral je portrettengallerij is heel bijzonder. Volgens mij is portretten maken een van de moeilijkste dingen in fotoland. En jij draait je hand er niet voor om, zo lijkt het. Mooie mensen op mooie foto's!

Bram

Tracy Hayden , October 15, 2004; 05:33 A.M.

Completely and utterly floored and amazed with your work.

Could I just be your shadow for a little while? I hold up lights and cardboard really well! I make a mean cup of coffee as well. You are a master.

Thank you so much for your comment, it made my whole day!

Theo Keijzers , October 15, 2004; 02:09 P.M.

You're welcome Tracy, you did it yourself.

I like my coffee strong, but it would be a bit dull for you. It's just hobby photography. Thanks for your nice words, you've made my evening. :)

Bedankt Bram!

Stefano Vandelli , October 18, 2004; 11:22 A.M.

Wonderful work! A pleasure to look at!

Philippe Rapoport , December 07, 2004; 01:13 P.M.

I discovered your portfolio from the "public bath serie", that i love, and... whaou! some of your portraits are really stunning, and, as a whole, your work is really touching.

Simone Maria Navarra , December 07, 2004; 04:09 P.M.

I like your portraits and the "public bath" serie. Really a wonderful work!

Simone

G . , December 07, 2004; 07:15 P.M.

What a tremendous collection!! Fabulous work, particularly in portraiture.

Beepy . , December 07, 2004; 07:37 P.M.

At the public bath series

Cool - saw one picture fly by and by itself I was shaking my head:-) But as a series it really works for me - great idea well executed.

Ed de Vlam , December 20, 2004; 09:54 A.M.

Theo

M'n complimenten Theo. Jouw portretten zijn van uitzonderlijk niveau. Er zitten werkelijk meesterwerken tussen. Ik moest dit even kwijt. Groet, Ed de Vlam

Beautiful portrait work. I'm impressed. I can learn here. Wonderful array of models and settings. Oh, and thank you for the comments on my "Himself" portrait. I'd never tried Kodak Portra before. I learned a lot by doing the shots with a good film. Thanks again, Theo.

Nicholas Bryant , January 13, 2005; 03:02 P.M.

Wow I am so surprised I didn't come across your folder before IT IS AMAZING!!! You are a Master Jedi of Photo ;)

Theo Keijzers , January 14, 2005; 06:32 A.M.

Thank you

Much appreciated and stimulating. Regards Theo.

WHAOUUUU

It's the first time i look your portfolio, and i'm very very surprised. What a job, all your models express serenity. Now i feel better, and i love the world. Thank you very much.

Stefan Rohner , January 18, 2005; 05:51 A.M.

very good work... regards Stefan

Arek Kotlewski , January 21, 2005; 03:05 P.M.

It is verry impressive portfolio! Portraits are really great and with that amount they show diversity of human look and personality. I have spent quite some time going through them, thanks for sharing, Arek

Michael Nigro , January 23, 2005; 09:06 A.M.

you use light like the masters.

Thorsten Jankowski , January 24, 2005; 07:11 A.M.

You are a master in portraits! Congratulations!You are really expiring me to further explore portrait photography. Thanks. Adriaan, Italy

Bill Napper , January 29, 2005; 12:50 A.M.

Portraits

Best use of lighting for B&W portraits that I have ever seen. Your portraits are almost "alive". I am impressed and hopeful that I one day will have some of your ability!

Just excellent!

Ken Kartes , February 05, 2005; 07:56 P.M.

Camera

What do you use for a camera?

Theo Keijzers , February 07, 2005; 05:20 A.M.

Thanks again for your friendly words. Very much appreciated.

Ken, not a single camera, the portraits are made with a mamiya C-330 (sold in bad times), a pentax 67 (borowed) and recently I bought myself an old Hasselblad with 80 and 150mm lens.

Carola Onkamo (former Lundmark) , February 15, 2005; 10:14 A.M.

I love: At the public bath.Whish that I hade youre curage to do something like that.

Mauro Cantoro , February 22, 2005; 01:35 P.M.

Great

I am honored of your critics... but you are really an excellent photographer!!Your portfolio is marvellous, you are a great portrait painter... Compliment...Compliment...BRAVO!!!

Scoota P Franklin , February 28, 2005; 11:12 A.M.

Pure Raw Talent

You are hands down my favorite portrait photographer. I've resevered such statements until I'd reviewed enough others to make a real decision, however I am constantly pulled back to the indescribable depth of your work. Keep the inspiration coming.

SPF

Brian Chase , March 15, 2005; 09:02 P.M.

Theo. Your portrait work is nothing short of incredible. I'm inspired!

Wilson Tsoi , March 23, 2005; 12:13 A.M.

Theo, terrific people portraits. I really like the way you categorize different types of portraiture. Rich, lively, and real. Congrats. ^_^

Reg Pearson , March 27, 2005; 12:44 P.M.

How did I miss this work for so long?

Fantastic collection... especially the faces .

Reg

Lakhinder Walia , March 31, 2005; 01:38 P.M.

Awesome work

With different MF cameras. Shows that cameras do not make pictures.

Pim Geerts , April 06, 2005; 05:44 A.M.

Hallo Theo,

Je maakt ontzettend mooie portretten, ik ga ze allemaal nog een keertje rustig bekijken. Knap werk. Succes verder!

groet Pim

Graham Boyd , April 06, 2005; 01:54 P.M.

Your portraits are wonderful, and I am going to assume that you like to capture a plain even look--and I like this too. But, in my view, too many of your subjects seem to be aware of the camera so the full spirit somehow doesn't come all the way through. You are way better at this than I am, so if you do not agree, I would like to know how you see it. Thanks.

anthony howard , April 06, 2005; 08:35 P.M.

Your work

Hope you are working commercially AND have a good agent - some of your portraits are exceptional. You should think about poducing a book and photographing some celebs to ensure its success.

Regards

Anthony

Theo Keijzers , April 07, 2005; 05:09 A.M.

Again

Thank you for the attention and the comments on my pictures.

Graham I collect faces, nothing more or less. Some are people I know, and a lot of them just people passing by. No professional models here and yes they are aware of the camera. I try to catch them in a relaxt moment. In most cases looking away would give a forced look imo.

Anthony no commercial work or agent, it is still a hobby. ( I have this silly tick, cannot walk through the city without looking at all these beautiful faces)

Graham Boyd , April 07, 2005; 03:50 P.M.

Theo, thanks for your answer.

Claudia Cala' , April 11, 2005; 07:14 A.M.

I think that your portfolio it's VERY VERY beautiful!!! good work...Claudia

Howard Dion , April 15, 2005; 02:55 P.M.

Your portrait work is outstanding! I really appreciate your effort and the fact that you shared so many fine images. Congratulations.

You and I share a common interest in the faces of people. Take a look at my Capturing the Essence Folders when time permits.

Douglas Keller , April 21, 2005; 03:17 P.M.

Of all of the portraitists that I've seen here, you are without a doubt one of my favorites. I love how, at your best, you are able to capture people as complex wholes... how you maybe seduce them or whatever into letting down their guards and revealing something of their true selves. It's as if you're walking a tightrope with them; click-click-clicking right as they subtly float across the line that separates the pathetically public from the genuinely private.

Rachael Jane , April 25, 2005; 11:46 P.M.

A wonderful collection! I enjoy every visit and never get bored. So many beautiful souls staring back, so alive, so calm. Thank you for sharing!

Johnnie Walker , May 02, 2005; 10:00 P.M.

wow

I have had you marked as interesting for a long time and I never get bored or disinterested in looking at your work. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world!! Johnnie

Jacques Henry , May 07, 2005; 10:16 A.M.

9 months after my first comment on your Portfolio.. I will simply renew it...
a great collection of portraits... especially those at public bath.. (reminded me of Matt Hoyle Bondi Iceberg somehow !... and I am quite proud to be the first one (of a long list now) of PNet photographers to admire your work!!

Al Li , May 09, 2005; 02:44 P.M.

Impressive body of work. Excellent portrait photos, each one a unique individual that you had captured well.

Ian Steiner , May 14, 2005; 11:14 P.M.

wonderful!

simple, direct, powerful....ian

Dillan Koropatnick , July 14, 2005; 07:57 P.M.

What a wonderful collection of portraits! These are the real people who fill our lives. You've captured the essence of humanity, and it's beautiful!

John Mitchell , July 28, 2005; 06:31 A.M.

One of the best portrait photographers on photo.net! If your work was to ever come in the form of a book, I would surely add it to my library.

JF Ochoa , September 03, 2005; 01:48 P.M.

Hi, Theo:

Impressive portfolio! Your portraits are amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us. Greetings from Mexico!

Alejandro Keller , September 05, 2005; 09:14 A.M.

Afternoon in the park

Weer zo'n heerlijk concept van je. Consequent en een eenheid als concept. Fijne portretten van herkenbare mensen. M'n complimenten en bedankt voor de inspiratie.

Aykan ÖZENER , November 24, 2005; 02:35 P.M.

Ligting

Theo, Erg mooie portretten..

Ik zou je willen vragen welk licht je daarvoor gebruikt.

Ben nieuw op deze site en heb net wat eerste oude foto's op deze site gezet. (commentaar is evt. welkom)

Dank, Leo

Ramón Palomo , November 29, 2005; 10:50 A.M.

Theo, I enjoyed a lot your photos. This is one of the best galleries I have seen in Internet.

Dirk van Mourik , December 23, 2005; 05:45 A.M.

erg mooi gedaan allemaal, Dirk

Chris Cross , January 28, 2006; 02:40 P.M.

great portraits. The public bath series is very original. Cheers Chris

Andrew Lee , January 30, 2006; 10:14 A.M.

Some very nice work in this portfolio.. glad I came across it.

Maria Manjelo , January 30, 2006; 10:26 A.M.

Your Majosty

You are a king of our field. I rather not say it again how great your portrait are. Personally I rather actually ask you few questions.I noticed that you use one light that is visible but really how many lights do you usually use. My other question is I am having a hard time in studio to keep the f stop high because of the lighting how do you keep such a nice depth of field.? maria@mariamanjelo.com please tell me. Thank you for your beautiful work.

Fausto Roim , January 30, 2006; 10:51 A.M.

My friend, your portraits are truly amazing!! You are defenitely and artist. Very impressive.! congratulations! Cheers from Brazil.

Allenda Simpson , January 30, 2006; 11:02 A.M.

About Face

Well deserved! Wonderful portfolio, and I hope to see many, many more of your photos! -Allenda

Antonio Marcone , January 30, 2006; 12:31 P.M.

Great collection of photos, lovely.

Manuel Álvarez-Arenas Bayo , January 30, 2006; 12:56 P.M.

Honest approach to portraiture

This collection of portraits is the best one I've found in the site. Thanks to PN to feature your portfolio, giving me the opportunity to know it.

Marco Ruggiero , January 30, 2006; 02:07 P.M.

Ciao Theo!

You capture the soul of human beings and do it with love and artistry which to me is the most important aspect of this art. Clean, Clear and honest approach. Thank you for sharing your portfolio with us I will be back for more inspiration.

Ciao, Marco Ruggiero.

Theo Keijzers , January 30, 2006; 02:45 P.M.

Thank you all!

I am very surprised with this featured portfolio, hope to show you much more. Maria I will try to email you this week. Regards, Theo.

John Kelly , January 30, 2006; 02:56 P.M.

quiet

I like the quietness of your work.

Are you still shooting Hass, gone digital, ?

Theo Keijzers , January 30, 2006; 03:13 P.M.

John for portraits nothing beats that old machine. I'll keep shooting with this.

Alan Katz , January 30, 2006; 08:17 P.M.

Theo, Using a format with portraiture has homoginized your subjects similarities rather than differences. The peacefulness of your vision is apparent. Gook work.

I C , January 30, 2006; 09:37 P.M.

Your portrats are classic and full of character. great stuff.

Glenn Wainman , January 31, 2006; 02:34 A.M.

I agree with Alan Katz: You must be a wonderful and magical person to put your subjects at such ease, that they find peace long enough for you to capture it. Even the grumpy little girl is happy to be a grumpy little girl for you. Well done

Photography in peace and healing Glenn

Howard Dion , January 31, 2006; 07:37 A.M.

In situations like this, I recognize the protocol of leaving flattering comments about the photographer and their work. In your case most definitely justified. I hope that my comment, when added to the list of kudos above, pays you the respect you deserve.

It is obvious from your body of work that your passion for photographing people drives your life and fuels the fire of your art. Congratulations on being selected by Photo.net to represent one of the best portfolios on the site.

Pnina Evental , January 31, 2006; 10:42 A.M.

Theo, Just came back yesterday from a very far Journay, it was my pleasure to find your portfolio featured today, as I follow your work of portreature and learned from you.A very good choice done by selecting your work ! congratulations, Pnina

Marc G. , January 31, 2006; 11:58 A.M.

In case you doubted it, Theo, I think you really have a natural eye for portraits, and a strong sense of simplicity - which is something quite rare and very valuable nowadays. Glad to see your portfolio on photo.net's front page. Keep it up.

Todd Bennett , January 31, 2006; 12:37 P.M.

Beautiful collection or portraits. Excellent work.

Sarah Underhill , January 31, 2006; 01:47 P.M.

Theo,

Wonderful collection! I have followed your work. Congrat's on featured portfolio! Well deserved.

Ludo Dijckmans , January 31, 2006; 02:41 P.M.

Great collection of portraits Theo . Hope I ever may reach that level . Heb toch ff moeten slikken ;-) er zitten ware juweeltjes tussen . greetz !

Ian Steiner , January 31, 2006; 04:18 P.M.

Congrats

Your work is always inspiring....ian

Tim Holte , February 01, 2006; 12:26 P.M.

I knew you would get your day in the sun. I have always liked your work but I think what I like the best is that your images show you are a good and decent person. Keep up the good work!

Jack Blake , February 01, 2006; 02:49 P.M.

congtats on "featured portfolio"!! I'm glad you got the honors, as it brought me to it.

Very nice collection. Best regards. James

Pasi Hotti , February 02, 2006; 01:57 P.M.

Theo

You'r portrait portfolio is outstanding! You totally own the light in you're work. I can only pray that someday I'm atleast half as good as you. Hope to see some new work soon.

Angel Pena , February 02, 2006; 09:39 P.M.

Amazing beauty and technical perfection.

Eric Chan , February 03, 2006; 02:27 A.M.

BRAVO! Simply Wonderful!

A finely crafted celebration of humanity in black and white. Goes to show that it is the eye behind the camera and not the number of megapixels!

Prashant Khapane , February 03, 2006; 06:07 A.M.

One of the best here. Great use of 6x6 camera.

Stefan Rohner , February 03, 2006; 09:48 A.M.

congrats ;)

Greg Scott , February 05, 2006; 03:30 P.M.

A bunch of friends

Your gallery looks as if they could be your best friends and most admired. Each person is represented with respect, and given honor by your work, with the result that makes me wish that I can know each of them personally. I know we can't really judge a person by their looks, but you certainly have made them look good, and interesting.

Jim Adams , February 06, 2006; 10:01 A.M.

There isn't much I can say. I just discovered your photographs, and will have to keep coming back.

Beautiful b&w work, and a truth in imagery that is so often neglected these days.

Just simply outstanding work.

Elisabetta Moschetto , February 07, 2006; 12:18 P.M.

Great portfolio Theo. Some of the best portraits I have ever seen.

Eli

Marco Giardini , February 07, 2006; 01:00 P.M.

lovely portfolio with impresseive portraits. Despite the ability to use B/W on a 6x6 format, even on the colored landscapes you demonstrate the ability to shoot superior shots.

.oesse.

craig h , February 08, 2006; 05:17 A.M.

Theo

regarding your portraiture.

You have amassed an impressive body of work it belongs in a State Art Gallery. It is my hope that you appreciate this fact.

I would be interested in learning about any exhibits you have had and whether this work has a wider audience within the Dutch art scene.

C.

Theo Keijzers , February 08, 2006; 07:52 A.M.

Thanks all for the stimulating comments. I will do my best to show much more.

Craig, I've had a few exhibitions in my home town. After a sabathical period of some 10 years I picked up portraiture 2 years ago, for some reason I have this fascination for faces. I just keep collecting more, and whenever there is recognition this would be nice, but it remains a strange and rather time consuming hobby. Regards, Theo.

Adam Cooke , February 26, 2006; 12:23 A.M.

Beautiful

You photos are inspiring. There are several photos in the three sisters folder that are beyond words. I guess that is why they are pictures. Thank you for sharing.

Faisal Ansari , April 17, 2006; 10:09 A.M.

Amazing!

This is simply amazing!! what a knock-out portfolio.., too good!!! BRAVO

Yann R. , April 21, 2006; 10:28 A.M.

I like to lost myself and to discover beautiful part of the world. I'm happy to discover this part of photo.net that I didn't know. I stay here for a while, too much beautiful portfolio to leave it quickly.

Andre Easter , April 21, 2006; 10:34 A.M.

I have only discovered your portfolio today and will no doubt return again and again. As a portrait maker, you have no rival here in PN (with the possible exception of Jim Adams, and you let them keep their clothes on). I am amazed by your skills in this genre. Portraiture is a category of photography with which I have little experience other than a profound admiration for those artists like you who can capture the human soul on a piece of film.

Maciej Kluziak , April 27, 2006; 04:43 P.M.

I admire refined simplicity of Your portrait works. Really honoured to see Your comment of my pic! and: Amanda is a fantastic model, born to pose for You, great pictures!

Justin Sainsbury , April 28, 2006; 03:03 A.M.

hi Theo I echo many of the thoughts above..beautifully,intriguing and direct. I noticed a question further up the chain relating to keeping depth of field to a minimum. Would you be kind enough to let me know how you generally achieve your results. Just one light/reflectors etc? I notice you used to use the Mamiya 330- I struggle getting sharp eye focus with such narrow DOF. thanks justin ..shuttertripping@yahoo.co.uk

Arvid G , May 07, 2006; 04:21 A.M.

Geweldig

Super portfolio :-)

George Kabanis , May 12, 2006; 12:44 A.M.

timeless portaiture ... your work with Marijse .... amazing ... you inspire ...

I think you re-invented the TLR, olympic degree of difficulty 10 !!

Kent B , May 15, 2006; 07:33 A.M.

I will get in line following a long list of deserving praise for your amazingly powerful and memorably work. It is a lot to absorb and will require more time to fully realize. It is among the most impressive bodies of work in this community. True thanks.

Doug Berryhill , May 15, 2006; 11:05 A.M.

Theo

If I were forced to have my portrait taken, and had the luxury of selecting anyone to do it, I would want it to be you.

Jord Ingenbleek , May 16, 2006; 12:20 P.M.

Everybody can see that you make beautiful photos but I know that you are a very nice guy also! Let that be said.

Philippe Rapoport , May 27, 2006; 04:06 P.M.

Theo, you're for sure my favorite portraitist on PN. Some kind words of you on one of my pictures gave me the opportunity to go back to your portfolio that I didn't see for some times; it's growing in amount and quality. Keep sharing your work with us, Philippe

(and I was very happy to understand that you're the TheoK of Ball-Saal ;-))

Theo, thank you so much for the comment. I can't thank you enough for commenting because if you hadnt i would never have seen your portfolio. STUNNING, you are probably one of the best portrait photographers i've ever seen. I mean, the hair in the back of my neck literally stood up when i saw it. The series at the public bath, along with your individual portraits are absolutly amazing. It's great to be recognized by someone who is as prolific and competent as you. You're the kind of guy i'd work with. Thank you for looking at my portfolio and sharing yours.

I have read some of the comments above and couldn't agree more with most of them. You were kind enough to leave a comment regarding a self portrait I had posted, having seen your work, your comment means a great deal to me. Continued success. I shall have to make time, come back and view the work giving it the time it deserves. Once again, wonderful and inspiring work.

Thank you

Dear Theo,

I'm under a ceiling fan in New York City with my baby sleeping next to me and Neil Young playing on the stereo. I've just spent twenty minutes or so looking at the people in your collection. I like the way you see them, and I think they would too. You might have inspired me to start photographing people I don't know, but you do it well enough for both of us. Thank you for sending all this across the sea.

-Nick

Theo Keijzers , July 24, 2007; 05:10 A.M.

4 jaar geleden alweer dat ik je portfolio heb becommentarieerd :-) Ik heb er van de week weer eens de tijd voor genomen, dit was ook wel nodig met zo'n 500 foto's, en me geen moment verveeld. Ik ben nog net zo onder de indruk als de vorige keer. Ondertussen al over digitaal aan het nadenken?

Ozmen Ozturk , July 24, 2008; 04:30 A.M.
