About

Astrid Verhoef is a fine art photographer based in Amsterdam. Her photography reveals a challenging relationship between natural environments and human presence. The artistic process is lens-based, and relies on solitary journeys and self-timed photographic staging. Shifting dynamics between belonging and disconnection run like a red thread throughout her work in a metaphoric, often surreal style with minimalistic compositions. Working on location is at the core of Astrid's practice. Occasional collage techniques are applied with on location created photographs only, without the use of AI. The creative process of sensory experience and connection to the landscape is deeply personal, and essential to her art. Throughout her career Astrid has also produced exhibitions in New York, Amsterdam, Leiden and Tokyo. She collaborated with Photoville New York, and was a curator and program manager for Dutch photography platform Photo31 from 2018 until 2025. Her main focus will always be her autonomous artwork which leads her to magnificent landscapes to explore her personal relationship with the natural world. Astrid usually works solo and therefore she is the model in most of her images as well. Every artwork is also a cherished memory and an ode to imagination itself. All photographs are available in limited edition artworks in several sizes.
