“I have a fascination for translating words into images in the purest, simplest way. I jot down words that fascinate me. The Dutch word 'Smaak' means 'Taste' in English. ‘Smaak’ is an example. It has huge appeal to me and my imagination runs with it. With "our" taste it is about whether we like something or what we like. How can I visualize and what happens if I combine the fashion with food?
Nathalie Dekker (1976, The Hague) is a Dutch photographer, she lives and works in Overveen, near Haarlem and Amsterdam.
She has a fascination for translating words into images, in the purest simplest way. She jot down words that fascinate her. The words themselves trigger her imagination and she knows how to capture their essence in a contemporary way. The unique way she looks at them is both unexpected and accessible. Just with a little bit of difference and playfulness, she knows how to amaze you with her work.
Nathalie graduated with honours from the Amsterdam Photo Academy in May 2018.
