Allan Schaap
Allan Schaap, LRPS is a professional freelance photographer based in the central Netherlands. With more than 20 years experience in the field, studio and darkroom, Allan is a firm believer in technological development and uses only professional digital single reflex cameras and the finest lenses(currently a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II and L series lenses.). The days of stuffy and claustrophobic dark rooms and acrid chemical smells are over for this photographer. He strives to exact the finest quality images for post editing, printing and publishing.

Allan has had his work published in numerous books, magazines and promotional material (local and international), and has held two major exhibitions; in Johannesburg, South Africa and in Holland. Allan has also won many photographic competitions and has had a print selected for the Royal Photographic Society's 2005 International Print Exhibition. He has futher achieved a licentiateship distinction from the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain and is currently working towards associateship.

Fine art nude, portrait and landscape photography are his main interests and he has been inspired by celebrated photographers such as: Brandt, Weston, Hamilton, W.Eugene Smith, Karsh, Cartier Bresson and Haskins. His approach to nude and glamour photography is simple and fundamental and portrays the female form in its natural beauty. He often prefers to shoot fine art nude on location outdoors and in rural establishments, such as fields, old farmhouses and barns. The multitude of harsh textures and lighting further enhance the curves, smoothness and unblemished beauty of the female nude while same remains the principal subject within the image. The viewer is often unaware of the deliberate care taken in the composition and pose to achieve this difficult balance.

When time permits and in-between projects, Allan will be found wading through a gin-clear stream in the mountains somewhere in Europe, practicing his second greatest passion: fly-fishing.
