The Shepherd, poet among photographers. De Herder is a poet among photographers, not only because his photos often have a poetic appearance, but also because he can say a lot with little. Made from enthusiasm and personal involvement, photos are a visual diary. In all his photos, human actions play an important role. Not the group, but the individual is central. The perception of beauty and optimism mark his early photos, while in later years the idea of transience increasingly resonates. Although he almost never used a flash device in his long, fascinating life, De Herder highlights in his book in short flashes events that are etched on his retina and in which he wants the reader, but especially the viewer, to share.
