The Dream
The only thing that is sure in life is "change". Plans change and as long as it is in our favour we should keep on smiling. The initial idea was to open L Art de Vivre as a B&B but due to licensing problems this idea has temporarily been scrapped from the agenda. Accommodation is available but this is basic and limited to availability. The renovation works have almost been completed but as we are still not sure of what we will do with this rather substantial property we have decided to take a break and enjoy the pleasures of life instead. The cave has been stocked with great vintages, photographs have been hung in the gallery, the garden is starting to reveal some colour and the pets do not wish to leave the premises any more. Bella prefers to stay in the kitchen, the cats in the old part and we just sit back and relax. Time is something that we currently have plenty of so why not enjoy it.
Photographic challenges are becoming the order of the day since starting Kees Terberg Photography, the registered professional service in July 2009. Currently specializing in wedding and product photography, Kees remains available for any of your photographic commissions. Just ask and the worst answer you can possibly get will be a "no".
Kees started his career in catering, graduated in Hotel Management and has always been passionate about photography. He qualified as a teacher through Highlands, Plymouth University Certificate of Professional Development and has been a tutor at the Jersey Arts Centre for many years. His photographic work is internationally admired and he is a sought after photographer when it comes to landscape, wedding and portrait photography. His enthusiasm is contagious. According to Kees, everyone can be a great photographer. Everyone has the eye, but in some cases this may just need a bit of guidance and a gentle helping hand to ensure that what the photographer wishes to capture, he or she manages to capture.
Kees' work has been exhibited at Offshore Banks like Gartmore Fund Managers Jersey and Barclays Wealth Management, in cafe's such as the Plemont Cafe, Thor's Bistro, The 69, The Old Inn, Big Verns, at hospitals and in galleries such as the Jersey Arts Centre, the JPC, Salle Paul Broca (Ste Foy La Grande) and some of his images are currently on display at the Art De Vivre Gallery in Les Lèves-et-Thoumeyragues. Besides that, over the years, Kees has entered a range of photographic competitions and his work has been rewarded with publications, trophies, certificates and special merits. The last special merit was a picture of his Cuban lady smoking a cigar in the world renowned competition of Photo.fr where it won the portrait category for 2009. The most important conclusion is that Kees' work is admired and appreciated.
