WEAVERY HOUSE ZAANSE SCHANS
Zaandam is known for its huge amount of production, first by mills but later also with factories. However also its cottage industry was a important part of their export. Weaving is an important example of this. These scenes are inspired by the situation from the 18th century. The family worked together from early morning until late at night. They produced cloth for a wealthy controlling owner. It was a hard existence with a lot of disparity and hierarchy.
Together with the museum's historian, we drew a story as it might have looked in the 18th century. Then I brought this story to life with historically correct clothing, props and a light set-up.

PRE-PRODUCTION
The story of this campaign is a representation of my imagination based on historical facts. I photographed different images to create a final composite image. This video shows the preproduction of this image.
