or years now Desiree Dolron (Netherlands, b. 1963) has travelled around the world. Whatever corner of the world she finds herself in, she has invariably returned with uniquely personal records of her journeys. Dutch photographer’s photographic art simulates a shadowy, dream-like world draping her soft veil over reality to deliver images that transcend the everyday and become instantly both historical and mythical. By melding documentary style photography with 21st century retouching methods, Desiree achieves her powdery, glowing effect allowing her pictures to look almost like paintings. Desiree’s acute vision meshes traditional reportage photography and computer enhancement to create a richer version of a genre that many believe to be tired and overused. The stillness and subtlety that is evoked by her seamless work has created a 21st century vision at odds with traditional photographic practice. Her references are obvious, but the results are a revelation. Perfection, often disappointing in practice, is in Desiree’s work, a newer vision. Desiree’s reputation and recognition as one of the leading contemporary artist has excided our own expectations – supported by her first retrospective show of work from 1990-2005 presented by the Fotomuseum den Haag (Netherlands) .
