Jan Stel explores abandoned places of our times, a forgotten world where mankind has disappeared. His photography is made in natural light, no flashlights or studio lamps. 'The human eye is far more sensitive than a camera lens and picks up minor as well as major differences in a scene. Because the photo camera is limited in its ability, I capture the image in multiple exposures. The scene my eye has seen and that which the camera is unable to pick up is what fascinate me. I want to reassert this sensitivity. I do this by brushing the photographed brackets into a sort of light painting, similar to what the dark room photography masters and painters of old used to do.'
