About the photographer

Welcome to the Two by Three web site. My name is Piet Niederhausen and I'm a part time photographer living in the Washington DC area. My main interest is in fine art photography, but I also enjoy travel, documentary, and food photography. I've been taking pictures since my parents first gave me a camera around age twelve.

My fine art work is primarily subjective, meaning that I'm not mainly interested in representing the world as it is, but rather in using reality as a starting point to create an image. I emphasize composition and framing (hence the name of this site) and the use of empty space. I'm also interested in how text fragments (for example, from signs) can become part of an image.

I'm an active flickr user and you can see more of my day-to-day photography in my flickr collections or on the map. If there's an image in flickr that you'd like to see added to this site, just let me know. Thanks!
