Artificial Sophisticated Art Photographer (ASAP)
Roelof van der Schaaf
This website is about old analogue , digital contemporary and the hopefully unknown tomorrow's photography known as Artificial Sophisticated Art Photography philosophy. (ASAP) The philosophy behind artificial sophisticated art photography involves merging technology, creativity, and aesthetics to produce visually compelling and intellectually engaging works of art.
Think, Imagine, Create
Artificial Sophisticated Art Photography (ASAP) is based on modern technology to open photography to all known art(s) as a base and not a result. The obscure camera is a raw producer of colour and shape only. New sophisticated software and old fashioned drawing arts combined create a new visual reality formally known as 'digital arts'.
Turning Moments Into Art
In fact we are talking about the revolution in visual arts. Dall-E is an example of this revolution, just type in a word or a text and Dall-E creates an image. ASAP is different in the way of combining the crafts of photography, drawing, scanning, collecting and using software to create a unique piece of art.

The Future Is Now
The artist from the past is now a pilot flying over the enormous landscape of digital arts and will be landing anywhere necessary or desired. The artist of today needs the knowledge (of arts) and the technology from today and tomorrow to survive the modern struggle in the jungle of arts.
Future?????
In future it might be possible to create a sculpture using a camera.
The first signs are here already; take a picture, use a 3D software solution and the 3D printer will finish the job.
At the moment it is possible to create any sort of art, like an oil painting, using a photographic camera.
Bosk Project Leeuwarden 2022
I filmed this 100-day project of Arcadia in 4K and 60 frames per second. It started, like many things with me, by chance because I started filming something and from the beginning I saw something beautiful emerging. As I understand it, about 3,500 volunteers worked on this project and without them it would never have succeeded.
Hauling 1,200 trees through the city has never been seen before. This is one of Arcadia's many projects that, from May until August 2022, saw 100 days of the beautiful city of Leeuwarden upside down in a cheerful way.
