Ingrid Baars 1969 At first sight one would be tempted to categorize the images of IB under the heading of mere photography. Photography actually makes up only a part of IB's 'mixed-media technique' . The computer has a leading role. It's here that she combines the results of her photo-shoots. She drastically manipulates and reworks the material until a final image is created, built up by numerous different elements, even traces of her oil paintings. For the last 7 years IB has been showing her work in different Galleries. She shows her artwork as well as images published as illustrations or selected by IB out of fashion-stories created for magazines. 1992 - Graduates from the Willem the Kooning Academy, Rotterdam 1997 - Wins the Illustration Year Award from BNO (an award to honour the best illustration in a given year awarded by the Dutch Designers           Association) 2005 - Nominated for a "Lamp" in the category Photography by ADCN (a prestigious award by the Art Directors Club Netherlands) 2008 - Finalist Screening Award Berlin 2008 2008 - Winner ADCN Award Category Photography Publications in Magazines: BLVD, DIF, Elegance, Elle, MAN, Playboy, JF&W,...
