Mature Infant Photography

Paul Ruigrok Characterizes Situations in an Unadulterated Fashion

— April 25, 2013 — Unique
Creator of some rather obscure images, Paul Ruigrok Van Der Werven who is working under the shortened name Paul Ruigrok has done this collection of renderings for his studio. While some of the most eye-catching captures feature infants in some unusual scenarios, there are others in the collection that are unexpected, uncomfortable and just plan strange.

What I love best about Paul Ruigrok's work is his social commentary regarding some of the serious and mundane aspects of our culture. While the shot entitled 'Real Estate' comments on the way we perceive neighbourhoods, another called 'Airplane' puts air travel into a unadulterated light that's quite telling.

Check out Paul Ruigrok's portfolio on his website for more work from this talented artist.
