A Dutch Artist’s Union/Rights Organisation assigned us to shoot portraits for an advertising content campaign to attract new paying members. Torben Raun worked with the artists and portrayed them in their own working environment. This amounted to a series of beautiful and strong portraits that gave color to a colourless organisation. It was a one off collaboration since the artist’s union: Kunstenbond deliberately chose not to pay the artists for using their image in the campaign and a little later launched a campaign for Fair Payment of Artists called ‘Fair Pratice’ which practise didn’t seem to match our ideals nor their own call for Fair Practise payments.
