Jeroen Busschers-Fine Art & Analogue Film Photography
Born in 1961 (Enschede) and based in Amsterdam, Jeroen Busschers was educated at the ArtEZ Academy of Fine Arts in Enschede (1980-1985) and completed his post-graduate studies at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam (1985-1988).
The Journey: From Analogue to Digital, and back to the Darkroom
For over 2 decades, Jeroen captured the world exclusively through analog film photography. In 2004, following the tides of technology, he transitioned to digital photography, exploring new creative landscapes. However, true artistic passion always finds its way back to its roots. In 2024, Jeroen fully embraced analog film photography once again.
Today, his work bridges the gap between classic discipline and contemporary vision. Every photograph in this new collection is meticulously developed by hand. Operating in his own traditional darkroom, Jeroen brings each image to life through an archival, handcrafted process on premium-quality photographic paper. They are not mere prints; they are tangible pieces of time, rich in texture, grain, and authentic contrast

His photographs and portrait sessions have been featured in major Dutch publications including NRC Handelsblad, Volkskrant, VPRO television, art magazine ‘Drift’, dance magazine ‘Dans’, and design magazine ‘ITEMS’.
