Gert Kist – fine art photography

Gert Kist (Amsterdam, 1963) is a Dutch fine art photographer and founder of Art Villa Gooi in Hilversum. Self-taught, he has developed a distinctive visual language over more than thirty years, bringing photography together with the atmosphere of classical painting. Light is the foundation of his work. Inspired by the dramatic lighting of Caravaggio and Rembrandt, Kist creates carefully constructed compositions with deep shadows, refined details and a sense of stillness. His portraits explore beauty, vulnerability and inner strength. His floral still lifes combine a classical presence with contemporary imagination. His work includes male and female portraits, floral still lifes and images that bring together people, animals and nature. Costumes, flowers and symbolic elements give the photographs depth and layers of meaning. He works with real models and carefully designed settings, paying close attention to posture, expression and finish. Explore Gert Kist’s fine art photography at Art Villa Gooi Gallery in Hilversum.
