Rene Dissel is a Dutch photographer and musician, known for his landscapes, portraits and
abstract work. He created the series "Seascapes" and the book "Ontmoetingen met
Amersfoorters". His photography focuses on nature, water and the human impact on the
environment, and he wants to capture emotions and create awareness.
Dissel started with a Kodak camera as a child and rediscovered photography during his music
career. His work is influenced by Irving Penn, Sebastião Salgado and Gerhard Richter. He
experiments with various techniques, but prefers black-and-white photography.
His latest theme, "sMelt", explores the effects of climate change. In this series, he portrays people
in ice, captured during the melting process. This shows the transition from hard to liquid,
revealing how ice changes and reveals new layers and details. Dissel's work invites reflection on
the vulnerability and transformation of human beings.
