Hazardous
After graduating from the Rietveld Art Academy, Mo Verlaan (1963) started out in experimental theatre, creating sets on location as well as performing. Her love for travelling and cooking made Mo found the company De Drie Gezusters catering to (inter)national film crews from a converted truck. A growing passion for photography made her enter the Photo Academy. She graduated in 2016 with a joint exhibition and her first book Resonance was launched, in which she explored the impermanence of light, the brief and fleeting beauty of landscapes, architecture and people.

entry description
This image Hazardous was shot at the coast of Kumanoshi in Japan. The holy Kumano Trail follows the coastline here. The sea is very wild and dangerous at this point. A large barrier has been built to protect this holy area against tsunamis in the future.about the photographer
