frieda    

artist |  photographer bases in the netherlands

like a poet plays with words, frieda plays with imagery.
combined found materials, flowers, old objects and textiles,
telling a new story together. all her images are taken with daylight.
with an almost philosophical take
she guides you along all the imaginations inside her head 
and create new life for things often forgotten.
her signature is clearly present in everything she makes :
simplicity, soft colours, a lot of light and dreamy settings. 

.   MASTERLY the Dutch in Milano

 

" I like to leave out everything unnecessary in an image.
for me photographing is all about simplicity 
and creating worlds we see when closing our eyes, 
I don't have a fixed idea, but I use the moment and the light 
and that's how the picture comes alive "
