David Balhuizen生于荷蘭阿姆斯特丹，畢業(yè)于海牙皇家藝術(shù)學(xué)院攝影系。在與荷蘭最牛的廣告公司合作之后前往倫敦。他最近的成績(jī)是獲得了2009年英國(guó)攝影協(xié)會(huì)AOP攝影獎(jiǎng)，他的個(gè)人作品由此逐漸受到關(guān)注。這些作品選自他的“東京”系列，將日本在重新建構(gòu)它的歷史和文化的過(guò)程中面臨的困境展示在人們面前，因?yàn)槲鞣轿幕瘜?duì)日本人的影響其實(shí)已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)了傳統(tǒng)文化。David Balhuizen的作品構(gòu)圖嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，基調(diào)呈土色，既有別于以往日本的高科技社會(huì)的形象，也不同于日本堅(jiān)守傳統(tǒng)的形象，從而讓它的身份特征進(jìn)一步遺失。
David Balhuizen was born in Amsterdam and received his BA in photography at the Royal College of Art in The Hague. After working with the best in Dutch advertising he decided to move to London. With his recent success in Londons most prestigious AOP-Awards/2009 he has put his latest personal projects to the forefront. These images are from his Tokyo series, addressing the difficult task for Japan of reconstructing itself on its cultural and historical roots whilst Western influences are more deeply felt. Far from the typical images of a high-tech society or a traditional Japan, David Balhuizen’s rigorist framework and earth-toned perspectives exacerbate the loss of an identifying trait.
