Sacha de Boer is a 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.
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 works for several magazines and for the Dutch press bureau ANP as a freelance photographer.
Currently she is working on a photoproject in New York and Amsterdam. Another project is called The Living Other, together with photographers Ata Kando and Diana Blok.
Last year she went to the North Pole to catch some ice bears with her camera. The result you can see in the book 'Gjoa Haven'. (When ordering in your local bookstore, mention this number: ISBN 978-90-8690-226-2)
