Roy Kerckhoffs Art specializes in hand-painted black and white photographs. I love bold textures as these are created by passing time, therefore putting emphasis on bygone days. In particular, I aim to show the history and beauty that exists in human-made wooden, concrete and steel structures contrasting with soft organic forms from nature. To obtain my goal I portray these in high-contrast black and white photographs. I either selectively or fully hand color the photographs with photo oils, using similar techniques as in the early previous century. My frames receive special attention, such that the final product is an integrated whole. If you're looking for commissioned work (your favorite spot, portraits on location), I can add that extra personal touch through my hand coloring process. Roy Kerckhoffs Art is formerly known as Eyeball Photography. Visit by appointment only
