It was great to meet and have a drink with them as well as many other contenders, Viewbook users and the people from GUP Magazine and Blurb. The photo’s are on Facebook and there’s a full screen album

Will you create our next Viewbook brothers portrait?

We are looking for a photographer with a great idea for our next Viewbook-founding-brother-portrait to accompany the new viewbook.com website that will be launched early 2011. We will pick the best one and arrange the creation of the portrait in close collaboration with the photographer. And of course, there will be a nice reward!


Last year’s portrait was shot by Mamabart.

You are completely free to explore the idea, any interesting interpretation will do, but if you need some ‘hooks’; the portrait idea could be in line with our core values; simplicity and emptiness. Last year’s portrait was shot by Mamabart. We really liked  the clever combination of holding a Mac Book, being a physical book (creating the only light source in the picture), and us viewing something together, while the laptop forms a V.The challenge is to create something completely new; a portrait, which in nine years from now, will be one of the ten portraits on our wall, at our ten-year anniversary celebration.


Our preferred travel range.

The portrait will primarily be used for the about us section of the new viewbook.com website and should also be suitable for press purposes. We’re looking for someone who is based in Europe, since we work from the Netherlands. See the map for our preferred travel range, and for places where we could meet! The portrait should be shot in February 2011. Please mail your idea, or any questions, to alrik@viewbook.com before February 1st 2011. We are looking forward to it!
