Herman van Gestel fashion photography

Herman van Gestel – a photographer of light. He is sensitive… over sensitive and probably that’s why is capable to capture the light in all its glory and all colors. His remarkable style recognized and appreciated by Giorgio Armani fashion house, by Samsung, by VOGUE – you name it. Countless photographs capturing light came from the camera of Herman van Gestel.

Herman van Gestel understanding of power of light came from his study of Aviation and Aerospace Engineering. When it became passion he choose different way, where he could explore the light with his feelings, and instead of studying the light he decided to capture it. That brought Herman van Gestel to the photography. He finished Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
