I can’t quite believe it’s taking me so long to write a new blog post. But that doesn’t mean I have been idle in the past few months: Quite the opposite, I have been pouring my creativity mainly into my Instagram account. (I know, given the fluidity of Social Media, maybe not the smartest idea …) A whole series of self-portraits and poems was born from that which will soon be published in a book. But I’m getting ahead of myself …
While being busy with creating, I realised that my website no longer is representative of what I focus on in my work. Which is:
Empowering womxn
through honest,
colourful and emotional portraits
So there’s a new website in the making, but all (!) of that later 🙂 Probably in 2022. But now finally heading over to what is REALLY news-worthy!
The big news …
For NOW! the big news is much more real and visceral: I have my own studio.
I can’t believe I just wrote that.
I have my very own photo studio now!!!
Bear in mind this is the first time I am ever renting a creative/work space and it was a big, big leap for me. A big freaking YES to taking myself serious as an artist.
Earlier this year I was looking to rent a space just on occasions but when I found this place I knew it had my name written all over it. I knew it wanted me to say yes, so I can say yes to all the wonderful people who have been wanting to work with me for so long.
So for two weeks now I have been working and creating at my new studio / atelier in Voorburg, mainly busying myself with my self-portraits and book project. But now it’s time to welcome YOU in as well 🙂
All of You
So let’s create magic together in a Room of Our Own:
- I want my studio to be open to everyone who wants to meet and see themselves as they are.
- I want to create natural, emotional and unapologetic portraits of womxn that speak of their whole story.
- Not just the happy, easy parts, but also the vulnerable and difficult ones.
So if you would like to see yourself as I see you, then call or write me to book your spot! I can’t wait to meet you and create magic memories together.
