    • ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

      Ad Windig got his first camera from his father, an Ernemann record camera. After high school, Windig worked for some time as an insurance agent in his father's business, but then resigned in the late 1930s to work for the Oxford Movement. 

      As an amateur photographer, he recorded the meetings. After seeing the exhibition Foto '37 in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Windig decided to become a photographer. To this end, he took lessons with Emmy Andriesse and Carel Blazer.

      After the war, Windig was one of the founders of the photographers department of the Association of Practitioners of the Bonded Artists , the GKf. He recorded the reconstruction in a humanistic documentary style. In the second half of the 1940s, Windig made photo reports in the Ruhr area (1945-46), commissioned by ABC press , traveled to Paris where he met Brassaï and Izis, and worked for a while with Carel Blazer. 

      In 1948 Windig took part in the Foto '48 exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. After being divorced from Annebet Stam, Ad Windig married Anna van Dijkhuizen in 1950. They had three sons: Roeland (1949), René Windig(1951) and Michael (1954). Son Michael Windig became a laboratory technician and (co-)owner of the De Verbeelding photo lab in Volendam. In the following years, Windig made reports and portraits for various clients, including abroad, and regularly collaborated for short periods with other photographers, including Paul Huf and Philip Mechanicus . Windig was a board member of the Gkf several times.
