About the Book
Some of us seem reluctant to share this with everybody. I have always been intrigued by this unwillingness, which can be a deliberate choice or a something that the subject is unaware of themselves. This unwillingness to share who they are manifests itself in different ways. People hide from the camera, but sometimes they cannot get away. People make faces. One way to hide is covering part of your face. However, who you are at that moment, or how you feel still shines through. There is some truth in the cliche that the eyes are the windows into the soul, but they are not the only expressive part of the face. These portraits show that no amount of hiding can prevent you from expressing some part of your personality.

About the Creator
I am a self taught photographer from the Netherlands, now living and working in Scotland on the beautiful Isle of Skye. At age twelve I was taught the basics of photography by my father and I have been taking photographs ever since. I want my images to tell a story and the best ones are those that can tell many stories. Some of them can be true, but they don't need to be. I want to invite the viewer to think about the images, wander into them, and make up their own narrative. As can be seen from my work I like symmetry, rythm and balance. With my images I try to surprise, engage the viewer and show beauty in places and subjects from around the world and where you might not expect it.
