Dutch molecular biologist Erik van Hannen captured the warmth, mood and appeal of an Utrecht museum library with a handful of photographic techniques
Sometimes a picture of a room is only that—simply a depiction of an enclosed space, without character. When Erik van Hannen, a Dutch molecular biologist, walked into this Utrecht museum library, he knew that a straightforward depiction wouldn’t be enough to do this space justice. He wanted to capture its warmth, mood and appeal. “I had visited the museum with my two children, and while they were busy exploring, so was I,” he says. “I ended up in this library, and was shocked. It was beautiful.”
