Albert Koetsier’s photography is X-ray photography, and that is why some of the questions couldn’t be answered.

 

What kind of equipment (camera body, lens, filters, flash, tripod, cleaning equipment other) do you use?

I use an X Ray generator – at home.

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

X ray-imaging no lenses are used – physics.

 

When you travel, what is in your essential photographic kit bag?

I have to make x ray images in my darkroom.

 

What kind of software/tools do you use for post-processing, if any?

I still do old fashioned darkroom work. Companies make posters of my work.

 

How long have you been taking photographs? How do you find inspiration? How do you take your pictures?

I have done photography for just over 60 years ( Yes that is sixty) – x ray imaging only 45 years.

 

Which style of photography do you like the most, and why?

I like many styles except advertising photography and manipulated images.

 

What goal are you working towards within your photography and when will you know you have reached it?

Make better art pictures.

 

Looking at your own work, which piece is your favourite? Why? Please provide a link to the picture.

Actually one of my favourites is a picture I took 41 years ago in Versailles France.  Favourite x ray possible the 3 tulips -on my website,  and/or the 3 nautilus – website.

 

Does your work fit into any one or more distinct genres  (nature, landscape, long-exposure, black-and-white,  infra-red, urban, artistic, macro, vintage, vernacular, social, street)? If other, please specify.

X Ray photography – b/w and hand colored.

 

Are there any photography websites that you visit regularly?

I am also a teacher ( at UCR)  and visit sites every day.

 

What is the one most important lesson that you have learned since you started taking photographs?

Photography is a way of communicating in a different way.

 

And finally, what other interesting photographers would you like to see in this blog?

I know too many to mention.
