- Words
- Sarah Press
Amsterdam based photographer Anne Barlinckhoff is one of the freshest emerging talents and best known for her women’s photography. Barlinckhoff’s focus lies on the exploration of the female body, in which she creates intimate and intense portraits that come from a process of trust with the women she depicts.
To cross her own lines, the artist becomes acquainted with the subjects she captures, resulting in unforced, sexy and fun looking photo shoots. After living in South Africa and traveling through different countries in West Africa her awareness for humans and nature increased more and more. Inspired by love, life and loss, and the beautiful nature of Africa, her images are characterized by a high visual and narrative contrast, as well as a newfound vulnerability. Through her photography, Anne is able to create her own paradise to escape from a world of cruelty and violence. She feels free to drift into a colourful paradise, a dreaming state in which peace and beauty are synonymous with happiness.
