Frank Visser – författare

For the past twenty years, photographer Mirjam Bleeker and stylist Frank Visser have travelled around the world together many times. They prefer to travel without a fixed plan, so they can be surprised by unexpected adventures and encounters. A few years ago they fell in love with South Africa. This book is an ode to South Africa's stunning nature and to its people. It's a report of Mirjam's and Frank's road trip along the coasts and through the inland, passing vast nature reserves and bustling cities. Along the way they catch up with old friends and make new ones, forging bonds for life. South Africa: A Road Trip holds beautiful photos of these inspiring people and their homes, as well as breathtaking photos of nature scenes. The book is divided into chapters corresponding with the different regions. A separate practical guide with useful addresses and tips is enclosed with the book.

Photographer Mirjam Bleeker and stylist and designer Frank Visser have known each other for more than 20 years. During this time, they have travelled around the world together, often without a fixed plan, seeking adventure and beautiful houses. On their travels, they love to visit the homes and holiday retreats of some of the fascinating people they know, who live on or at the beaches of various oceans and seas. There, Mirjam and Frank make honest, sensitive photo reports of the houses or cabanas, and still lifes of details of the interiors, as well as wonderful images of the people and surroundings. In 2014, this led to the publication of At the ocean – Inspiring coastal houses and refuges. In 2023, by popular demand, Mirjam and Frank decided to team up again and explore brand new magical seaside locations to create a sequel: By The Sea. A unique book with an adventurous and dreamy look and feel, for lovers of interior design, but also for travellers and for everyone who likes to dream of a life elsewhere.
