About bakers and the frog
Baker Denise from Belgium
You asked me to share more about my work as a freelance photographer and designer. A few days ago, I told you about the development of a logo and a color palette. Today a story about flexibility. Mental flexibility. Because that is necessary in my work. Take yesterday. We made an appointment to photograph a bakery. Things went a little differently, our appointment had been forgotten and there turned out to be a different baking schedule than we were told beforehand, but we met with a great baker (thank you Denise!) who was willing to think along with us. After more than 4 hours of driving we could have reacted disappointed, but together with the bakers we made it a wonderful afternoon. And after we braved downpours and went looking for a cafe, there was 'De Kwaakvos' ('the frog'), a cozy no-nonsense cafe with again very nice staff. A Belgian adventure with beautiful bread and inspiring bakers, a park full of dripping hydrangeas, a warm welcome in De Kwaakvos where we took notes for our story to be written later. And yes, that is a working day!
Restaurant ‘De Kwaakvos’ (The Frog)
Deze expositie brengt krachtige visuele verhalen samen van bakkers van over de hele wereld – een stille maar indringende ode aan onze gedeelde menselijkheid. Van de levendige kleuren van een Indiaas dorp tot het zachte licht in een Estse keuken: elke foto gaat verder dan brood alleen. Ze vangen een gevoel van plek, identiteit en aanwezigheid.
