Wendy - Shoot with a Local
DOC 8:Photo team-up with documentary photographer Marijn Fidder - Wendy - Shoot with a local
A photo documentary about my meeting with documentary photographer Marijn Fidder for my project Shoot with a Local in the Netherlands. 🇬🇧English and 🇳🇱Dutch subtitles available!
Dear, beautiful, special, quirky and very talented Marijn Fidder, It felt so special to me and I am so proud that you gave me the opportunity to tell your story. In this new photo documentary, I may show the people around us who you are, how pure, how genuine, and what a golden heart you have!
Four months ago, you stepped into my car and we had wonderful conversations about your photo project "Stoute Cellen" (Naugthy cells), in which you follow children with childhood cancer. We also talked about the many other valuable photo projects you are working on and you explained how life is after winning Dutch highest prize for photojournalism, the "Silver camera". While talking in the car we found out that we both have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and sometimes have to live with emotional fluctuations. We had very open and honest conversations about it.
We visited the great fine art portrait photographer Anne Weidinger who gave us a studio portrait photography workshop. Under the guidance of dear Anne and make-up artist Sanne Kwant, we made amazing photos of each other and edited them together with Anne. By the way, Anne also made some great shots of us, and the cherry on the cake became that we were allowed to photograph a very special model. It was sweet little tough Topper Eva, one of the children you followed for some time during her illness process. For one day she could be a real princess and you were able to photograph her in a "different" way.
How wonderful it is that Eva now has been given the all clean and together with her parents has now funded the ewingsarcoma foundation to help other children to cure this very rare form of cancer.
Marijn, it was my pleasure to watch you on my computer screen for countless hours, to listen to you and to enjoy again and again the fantastic day we had together.
Thanks for being you❤️
In particular, I would like to thank Anne Weidinger, Ellen Zwiers, Sharrol Pattiwael, Topper Eva and Sanne Kwant that you have fully "voluntarily" contributed to the realization of this film! Thank you for your dedication, patience and trust! 🙏❤️
I am proud of the end result, although it came with some trial and error. But I have learned from it so much and it has only become even more clear to me that
“This is what I would to live for!"
Connecting with people and bringing people together to make a difference for others!
Thank you for sharing the passion you live for, in our documentary
Something with “those pearls” ✨
Love you guys❤️

--------------------------------------FUEL THE PROJECT--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would be very grateful if you could help me to ‘fuel’ my project. Since I started up Shoot with a local I invested all my passion, energy, time and a lot of money in this very important project for me. It’s a non profit initiative and I truly have the best intentions with it. Obviously the passion, my energy and time come from my heart, but unfortunately the monetary part is the most difficult one. If I want to continue with this project and hold on to it I need to find some financial support on the way. Small donations from my friends and fans could at least cover the costs of fuel and maintenance of the car. So if you can relate to my initiative and if you could contribute a penny, find the donation icons at the top of this page to pick your way to make a donation. Please leave your name and e-mail address so that I can contact you to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
