Capturing Moments, Illuminating Stories
Wouter van Solinge:
“Next to capturing “Situations” on the streets that make sense to me, I also enjoy interacting with a model to create powerful “Impressions” together. It is not the image you see, but the feeling and story you experience. My photographs are always in black and white.”

Capturing Moments, Illuminating Stories.
Welcome to the world of Wouter van Solinge: Head of the Clinical Laboratory Department at an academic hospital by day, and a master of monochrome photography by heart. With a lifelong dedication to the art of capturing moments, Wouter’s lens is his tool for storytelling, both on the bustling streets and in collaborative sessions with models.
Using the expressive power of black and white photography, Wouter’s work transcends the ordinary, transforming everyday scenes into captivating narratives.
His eye for detail and composition allows him to freeze moments in time, revealing the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
Whether he’s exploring the subtle nuances of street life or orchestrating powerful portraits, Wouter’s passion shines through in every frame.
Experiences
Wouter was inspired to get into photography after watching the television series “Q & Q” in 1974 and seeing the groundbreaking work of photographer André Kertész. Later on his work was influenced by Antonioni’s film “Blow Up” and photographers Peter Lindbergh, Helmut Newton and Anton Corbijn. Wouter’s own signature is now apparent in his “Impressions” and “Situations”.
“Through your lens you took me to a completely different world. Black and white but more colorful than I’ve ever seen. Mysterious, artistic and surreal. Serendipity at work…..” Serendib.
“Thank you @woutervansolinge for these “impressions”. More important than the images (which blew me away!), working with you to create them was an enriching experience. Your approach to portraiture is respectful, striking, and inspirational.” Christiana.
“Being good friends, it was exciting to decide to do a photoshoot with Wouter. Working with Wouter was fun, as expected! But moreover, it was inspiring to see Wouter from a different side, professional and creative, in deep concentration, looking for the best shots in a safe environment. It led to great pictures!” Valerie.
The creative, technical, and interactive process of working with models to create these images is something I thoroughly enjoy. If you would like a compelling and honest portrait or are interested in collaborating as a model in visual storytelling, don’t hesitate to reach out.
