At the last 'blijde intrede', a tour where the new Belgian Royals King Philippe and queen Mathilde visit all provinces of Belgium, last but not least they visited Brussels. Every now and then I photograph royalty too (it is the best selling subject worldwide, helas) and this time I was there too, on this rainy day. As there are so many other photographers too, I tried to focus un the surroundings and hidden moments of the day.       Janssen & Janssen This situation reminded me of Tin Tin's Janssen and Janssen. cityhall Brussels cityhall Brussels Carpark of the royal family is surreal Zwarte pieten bestaan ook in Belgie Zwarte pieten bestaan ook in Belgie   In the Netherlands there is this discussion of Zwarte Pieten, but here in Brussel I see them all around... Royals peek through a window Royals peek through a window O yes, I shot the royals themselves too, peeking through a window from cityhall, not so happy with the weather I guess.

PUBLICATION ON NRC PUBLICATION ON NRC   As you saw in a previous post, I did quite some photographing at the coronation of Willem-Alexander in Holland. And what did I find? Only one picture was used until now, and it is this totally boring picture of mine, at least, when you compare it to all the colorful images I shot over there in Amsterdam.       Well, this is a online publication. The other images, spread by Corbis and Hollandse Hoogte, could end up in magazines too, but a photographer only knows this at its best one month later. All that without seeing the final publication, or even knowing what paper or magazine it was published in. Just by seeing the bill the agency sent with sold footage.       That is the frustrating thing of being a photographer nowadays. You don't know if your pictures get sold. And when you get to know they were sold, you see the bill, but often you don't know in what publication they ended up, or in what layout or on what page they were used.       OK, never mind. The real kick of photography is the process of capturing  the images. Whatever happens with them later on, is history!   De 10 best verkochte foto's van Hollandse Hoogte De 10 best verkochte foto's van Hollandse Hoogte (Photo credit: marcoderksen)
