McLion assigened for Noordeinde Magazine

Last weeks I've been busy working on an assignment for Jaap Holtzapffel, publisher of "hommage magazines". Our latest project is "Royal Noordeinde", a large size publication about one of Holland's most famous streets. My studio/gallery is located just around the corner, which was convenient. Subjects photographed are Louis Couperus (famous writer 1863-1923), the Royal Palace and well known artisans from Steltman Jeweler, Gérard Brussé (coutourier) and Heijm Rijken Coiffure.

Polaroid self-portraits: Raoef Mamedov

BLOG-MCLION-RAOEF-MAMEDOV

Last monday, my friend Lilja Zakirova visited the gallery in The Hague. She was accompanied by Raoef Mamedov and his beautiful daughter Tamara. Raoef Mamedov (born in 1956 in Azarbaijan, living in Moscow) is probably the highest priced contemporary photographer in Russia. Besides that, he is a professor at the Film Academy and director for Central Television in Moscow. His monumental photographs are often inspired on biblical stories and created with models who have down syndrome. Raoef Mamedov is officially represented by www.zakirova.com.
