His work.
Movement.
Jacob Gils "Movement" series started as an experiment and eventually became a true creative work. As a matter of fact Myriam Simons, from le revenue claims that his photography is something new and full of creativity because he paints with his camera. Fredrik Haren "The Creativity Explorer", called this way for his experience exploring about human creativity and writer about the subject, talked about the balance between Jacob's "curious research mode" and the "focused execution mode".
Limit to your love.
The series "Limit to your love" is Gils' nude experiment with a Polaroid camera. He has won two awards with this series. Virginie Lorient from Bettina Von Arnim's Gallery asserts that the transfers of colours of this technique may vary, but Jacob Gils does not modify the natural colours.
Transfer.
In the "transfer" serie, Jacob Gils transfers polaroids onto watercolour paper. Through this innovated technique, the eye begins to decode, and to see more than a simple picture.
