Elmer R. de Haas (1969)

Dutch commercial director / artist / photographer is also founder of Blacktip Productions, based in Amsterdam. ​

 

He now divides his time between San Pantaleo, Sardegna, and his home town Amsterdam.

​​

​While Blacktip Productions focus on commercials and film-making, Elmer's photography and sculptures depicts moments in time, both fleeting and expansive, observant and intimate.

 

In San Pantaleo he takes Wet Plate Collodion portraits - an old style technique from the 1850's - ,
and continue working on his goldleaf touched sculptures.

In Amsterdam he is still available for commissioned jobs in the field of photography and directing.

​

His work is often characterized as  “work that embodies great emotional depth, with a sensitive eye for composition and storytelling”.

​

Elmer's uncommissioned work is collected by a growing international clientele in Amsterdam, Zurich, Berlin and London. At present he exhibits in his own studios in Amsterdam and San Pantaleo.
