He set up his own studio in 1985. From the very first outset his work was characterized by taut, carefully created compositions in which light plays a\u00a0major role. This working method, his pursuance of perfection, was not so much the result of his study, but more a way of accurate viewing and registering the world around him which was and still is self-evident to him.<\/p>\n<p>Gerrit Schreurs developed a distinctly unique approach to a wide range and variety of different commissions, in which he further expanded and perfected his fascination for the possibilities afforded by technique and content-related insight. This resulted until today in a pure and specific photographic profile adding sometimes even surrealistic undertones to his work, particularly to his non-commissioned oeuvre. Taking stock after the thousands of pictures he has made during his career, his enthusiasm and interest to continually seeking out new challenges both in terms of technique and content is without a doubt the greatest motivation and incentive for his work. Schreurs is always open to new ideas and embraces new techniques and new grounds, such as film. So, exploring film-territory and the new possibilities of this discipline in depth soon led to a series of documentaries and commercials, that now form an impressive part of the Gerrit Schreurs portfolio. For the filming projects Schreurs as a director works with camera operator and editor Maurits Veldhuijzen van Zanten.<\/p>\n<p>In short: Gerrit Schreurs, definitely is not one dogmatically working on a univocal oeuvre, on the contrary, he enjoys courting adventure, both in his choice of commissions and in his non-commissioned work.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"cd-wrapper\"><div class=\"cd-container \">\u201cWorking with the best graphic designers, curators, art directors, industrial designers, and\u00a0artists ensures that you receive the feedback you need.
