De stripdagen voor fotografen

door Angela | mrt 12, 2016 | Ontspanning

Ter ere van de stripdagen leggen wij een link tussen strips en fotografen. Het Stripschap organiseert sinds 1980 jaarlijks De Stripdagen, het grootste stripfestval van Nederland. Bij deze gelegenheid wordt jaarlijks de Stripschapprijs uitgereikt, de belangrijkste prijs die Nederland kent voor stripmakers. Dit festival duurt 2 dagen, vandaag en morgen. Vandaag kijken wij daarom naar bekende strips die heel erg herkenbaar zijn voor fotografen.

Aaron Johnson is het creative meesterbrein achter de strips What the Duck. Hij is enorm getalenteerd en uitstekend in staat om algemene furstraties en herkenbare momenten van fotografen in beeld te brengen.
