About
photo.shoq is a daily photolog which started more than 8 years ago.
I started this blog to help me motivate to do more with photography. Well that sure helped :)

Jasper van der Meij’s photoblog, photo.shoq, is a gallery of wonderful images from his homeland of the Netherlands. As beautiful as his photographs are, however, it is the subtle, well-executed vignetting that draws me in to the images. Jasper’s skill at focusing a shot with vignetting is magical. Never does the vignetting overwhelm the shot; instead, it draws the eye in, focusing on the details of the image.
I think I’ve fallen for the Netherlands as seen through Jasper’s eyes. His images carry a sense of nostalgia and longing, as well as a strong sense of homeland, each an enticing ingredient that, combined, makes for a powerful portfolio of images.
