Top photographer Govert de Roos is as iconic as the portraits he was allowed to take of many of his (inter)nationally famous models. In his theater performance Van Hazes tot Playboy he gives you a look through his lens and you stand next to him, behind the camera.

His work is known worldwide: the photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono in bed of the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam, André Hazes surprising the audience with his middle finger extended, or his portraits of a.o.
Michael Jackson, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, Rob de Nijs, Blondie, Sade, Joe Cocker, George Martin, Leonard
Cohen, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Whitney Houston and many others.

Capturing a memory isn't difficult these days, but for an iconic photo you need
more than a smartphone.

In From Hazes to Playboy, Govert will tell you his secret of a good portrait and share his vision and expertise
of 50 years of photography. After this performance you will look very differently at photography and think
think twice before you actually press the shutter button
