The land of red earth is the home of Zak van Biljon. Born in South Africa in 1981,
the photographer spent his childhood and youth between Johannesburg and Cape Town.
In 2003, he graduated top of his class from the National College of Pho-tography in
Pretoria. Ironically, he graduated with a degree in black and white prints - when
he was influenced by the colors of the Rainbow Nation.
In 2004, he moved to Europe. In Rome he met a different sunlight and in London he

was at the top of the booking lists for well-known Un-derground Modelables. He con-
tinued his career as a commission and art photographer in Switzerland, where he de-
votes every free minute to his art projects.

In his work you can find digital as well as analog photographs, contemporary adver-
tising and modern art photography. His main focus is on the staged use of light. In

his latest art project he deals with infrared photography. The world seen in shades
of red and pink offers a new and impressive insight into reality as we know it.
