ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER:
'I always look for that specific Mona Lisa smile'.
Sacha de Boer is a journalist and photographer who prefers to work with the typical Dutch light. Appearing to be a natural light coming from a window on the lefthand side. It enhances the models natural beauty, although this specific light doesn’t hide the wrinkles that give a face its character. She wants her models to feel at ease in front of the camera, and always tries to ook for a specific look in the eyes of her models. The Mona Lisa look, as she calls it.

Although her portraits are either in color or black and white, her artwork is mainly B&W, characterized by the love of shadows and shapes.

Sacha de Boer made her first pictures when she was seven. At the age of eight she discovered some mysterious sheets on the attick that turned dark when exposed to light. With coins and flowers she made forms and shapes that stayed white and didn’t immediately turn dark. Years later she understood that those were actually photograms that she had made.

Since 2005 De Boer has had a couple of exhibitions, either solo or group exhibitions. She is represented by Beeldagent: http://www.beeldagent.nl
