Willem, I received your book and it was far better than I could have imagined!Your compassion and connectedness to the subjects you shoot makes me feel as though I know them too.I truly admire your work and I thank you for sending your book to me so quickly-I have enjoyed your point of view immensely. I have shared your images with both photographer and non-photographer friends and you have gained quite a few more admirers.Now, if I could just learn Dutch I would be all set. :)Thanks,An

After his first successful book Beautiful people, meanwhile sold-out, a reprint is being considered, it could not be avoided: the second photo book of people photographer Willem Wernsen is a fact. Globally the same concept, but with even more impressive photos, all portraits in pure, non-revealing black-and-white.
In the preface Patricia Steur asks herself: where does Willem find all these special heads? I know the answer: everywhere and nowhere. Just where he is. In New York, in Rotterdam, around the corner at his place.

With Willem it is not about searching and finding, but it is much simpler: it is about seeing.

The book is not –contrary to Beautiful People- ‘logically’ grouped in regard to the places where the photos were taken. They now all are placed in random order and why not? It is each image on its own that tells the story, causes astonishment, evokes compassion. Masterly done, enjoyment, photo after photo. And yes, what a special type of species are walking around on this earth of ours. In the streets one will see a special type like that now and then. Willem Wernsen also sees them, talks to them and photographs them. Besides his photographic art this is also a quality of him which calls up admiration.

A third book? The aficionados of the better black-and-white portrait are already looking forward for it…

Lieve De Bleeckere November 11, 2011
Looking into Willem's book is always an intense pleasure for me, not only because of the beautiful B/W photography but especially because I feel his deep respect and empathy for his subjects throughout the book. A great example of "human" documentary work!!


Hans Niezen November 10, 2011
The book is the crown on my jewel collection. I admire the way Willem Wernsen approaches his themes, and the way he freely takes the photos in exactly the way he sees and wants. His style of printing and converting his neg(ative)s and dig(neg)s into a book full of pearls and diamonds are a joy for the eye. Directly relating to his way to way he works: no masks, open and direct. Seldom I've seen so many people enjoying and admiring his protraits in the many expositions he had. An open mind, open hart, an direct way of catching the right string from hart to hart.

Hello Willem,

well how should I put it?
Your work goes far beyond any FC or anything else your work has soul, warmth and a lot of feeling.
It must be very satisfying for you to know that you managed to touch the souls of some people out there right :-)
what you didnt know that?

Well then now you do.
Willem to my mind you are one of the last true humanists in this world, in this sense I want you to know that i am very thankful that you share your vision with us and therefore give us the opportunity to grow into something that you have achieved long ago.

Namely this is the Art of empathetic soulful, poetic documentary lightpainting.

To put it in Turkish:

Ellerinden öper ve sevgi ve saygilarimlari sunar ve sana ve bize yüce yillar dilerim Usta :-)

Saygilarimla, Serdar

Herzen.Danke für das Erlebniss! Viele Grüsse K.

Willem Wernsen.

Photographer, Portraits, streetphotography Publicist of two B&W photo books Beautiful People(2003) and Timeless (2011) Master in black&white photography.

Thirty years ago, I bought my very first camera. What started as a hobby in those days has become a passionate fulfillment. I immediately sensed a need to photograph people, primarily in a social documentary atmosphere. In black and white, of course, because that is my great passion. In the beginning I could... not take my eyes off the collected book series “Great Photographers”. All those beautiful photos were very inspiring to me. Over the years, I have matured. This, according to connoisseurs, gave my images a distinctive signature. After many publications and portfolios, I was able to realize my first book “Beautiful People” in 2003. By now, it is sold out. Today, 7 years on, I present my new book “Timeless”, which is dedicated to my wife Margareth who passed away in 2009. It was her whish that the book should be published. Timeless came from the printer’s in April this year,. Timeless is a picture book and a deluxe edition, too. It contains 150 black and white photographs, printed in duotone image. Form 28x30 hardcover. Text: Dutch-Englisch.

Price Timeless 39.50 euro (shipping costs not included)
ISBN 978-90-76537-04-7

upon receipt of your order I will inform you personally per mail with payment procedure and shipment details.


Best photo regards,

Willem
