About Me

My name is Patrick Krolis. I started photographing in Suriname in 1978. During my college years my arts teacher, accepted my proposal to photograph for class rather than drawing building perspectives.

After buildings came nature. Black and White analog photography. Having spend hours in the darkroom I know how to appreciate the advent of digital photography. I now exclusively shoot digital.

During my university years in the 80's in Brazil, I moved from nature and building subjects to capture poverty. Ultimately depressing this led to a long pause in my photographic activities.

In 2002 I started experimenting with digital photography and since 2005 I have entered a new phase and shoot beauty.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, pls comment on my pictures.

Zoom.nl
The gallery of the Dutch photography magazine Zoom.nl. While most people comment in dutch here, english is widely understood.

deviantART
This is an online gallery of different types of visual artists. So I posted my work here too. It seems to be a huge community. And it will allow me to sell my work online!!!

Phoice - http://bodynsoul.phoice.com/
Another gallery. This one seems to have similar functions like Zoom.nl. But probably another public and another community. So happy to share with other people. Might do more photos per shoot here since I can make collections on this gallery.

Shutterchance
A real daily photoblog. Everyday a new picture from my archives.
