The painting-like quality of their photographs has become the unmistakable trademark of Frank and Carol Van Valkenburg. With their unique photographic style combined with their innate quality of balance and composition, The Van Valkenburgs capture the very spirit and essence of life. Their work is instantly recognizable... very warm, very soft, gentle and peaceful.
With the eyes of artists, The Van Valkenburgs know what they are looking for in the lens and they find it. Through numerous camera exposures, they isolate fleeting expressive attitudes which reveal the subject's personality. They know how to reach that inner spirit and how to draw it out. They do not ask those whom they photograph to pose. They feel that posing tends to produce stiff, self-conscious subjects. Instead, they rely on the camera to capture a revealing spontaneous expression or gesture.
