Profile

is a highly personal selection of Jan's work from the early '90's to 2018.

Jan's

defining images cross all kinds of fashion barriers. His respect for the models he works with is evident. His models are raw, sometimes slighty unconventional beauties, quite often with very little hair and make-up. Jan's images are pure, powerful and evocative,

getting to the very soul of the subject. Whether its an androgynous looking girl with a cowboy hat, a model smoking a cigarette on a beach, a movie star or a picture of his

wife or children, the pictures are captivating in their simplicity with a very clear style

that belongs only to him. His approach to his craft remains unchanged over decades,

his style clear, avant-gard and transcendent of trends. Featured are among others

Cate Blanchett, Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova, PJ Harvey, Drew Barrymore,

Kirsten Owen, Kylie Minogue, Tatjana Patitz, Jessica Chastain, Christy Turlington,

Tilda Swinton, Vanessa Paradis, Gisele Bundchen, Natalia Vodianova,

Courtney

Love, Doutzen Kroes, Laetitia Casta, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jennifer Connelly, Milla

Jovovich, Bella Haddid and Helen Mirren.
