Dirk Pieter is a Dutch photographer who has worked in New York, Paris and London. His creative work on angels has been an extensive project of his over 10 years. Shooting primarily in black and white, the portraits in the 999 Angels project are close to photo journalism/documentary-like photography. He tends to isolate his subject if needed with postediting, but his images are imperfect, especially in the rough editions, as life is. His photographs are always portraits of real people, or in Dirk Pieter’s words, true angels. His angels are not necessarily linked to time, place or environment. They could fit everywhere, like angels do.
