These 35 Photos By A Dutch Artist Look Like Classical Paintings Brought To Life
After graduating as a Goldsmith and later as a multimedia designer, Dutch artist Gemmy Woud-Binnendijk found her true passion in photography. Driven by her love for humans, animals and a strong creative urge, she brings the past to the present in her portrait photography.
Woud-Binnendijk admits that her biggest inspiration is the old master painters of the Golden Age. Combining the techniques they used – Chiaroscuro principle and Sfumato technique in this case – she creates intricate depths by using dark and light contrasts.
By layering colors and tones, she creates soft and imperceptible transitions in her portraits which you can see below.

Where's the creativity here? Anyone can set up a model like a famous Vermeer and paint it. Thousands have.

Innocent eyes... check. An intelligent, even of complicity, stare... check. Headdress... check. Pearl earring... check. I can't find what's supposed to be missing.

Absolutely impressive. I've said that before, and I'll say it as many times as I feel I need to: Hidreley's posts are unarguably usually the best here.
