Songs from the heart

Book excerpt: Songs from the Heart gives a complete overview of all the 54 photographers who exhibit their work at BredaPhoto 2014. A beautiful reference work filled with photos and background information. Romanticism is a word with multiple meanings. It points to a historic period and the ideals from that time, but it has also become a cuss word, an accusation of uninspired kitsch. This area of tension is the starting point of the sixth edition of BredaPhoto international photo festival. More than fifty photo-graphers have approached Romanticism in the 21st-century in their own way. Some regard it from a distance; others are directly influenced by the Romantic heritage. And some can only come to one conclusion: I am a Romantic. --Publisher's description.
