RICHARD BROCKEN, born in 1968 in the Netherlands, is an award-winning photographer and musician. Among other subjects, he documents his daughter Eva's growth towards womanhood, capturing the delicate balance between childhood and adulthood. He uses lighting and shadow to great effect and manages to create a melancholy air in his work, which leaves the viewer subdued but engaged with the images.
