Kim De Molenaer is a photographer based in Antwerp capturing his human subjects in moments of vulnerability, either staged or improvised, and places emphasis on the forms of the human body. Characterised by structure, form and feeling his, mostly B&W photographs represents energy and movement within stillness, harmony and proportion. Mesmerised by the sunlit country with its extremely bright natural light, De Molenaer’s photographs show a beautiful depth within their grey tones, caused by this intense lighting. His photographs are a statement of true craftsmanship, he manages to handle the ‘tool’ – the analog camera – in such a way that his works are balanced, pure and highly enjoyable. His intuitive understanding of the medium and its technology combined with an unrestricted, imaginative mind and relentless devotion to the art reveals an original insight to the human experience. His works have been showed in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Germany & the U.S.
