LensCulture B&W Photography Award 2024
Astrid Verhoef is among the winners of the LensCulture Black & White Photography Awards 2024. Each of the jury members selected one photographer to be awarded special distinction.
Juror Mee-Lai Stone (Picture Editor, The Guardian, UK): “Astrid Verhoef's 'Human//Nature' series is bold and striking, yet lures you in with a sense of curiosity. An anonymous figure (of the artist herself) faces out into a constructed geometric landscape, drawing us towards her own perspective. This gives a sense of who Astrid is as an artist. Working independently, and at scale, to create meticulous still life setups (this is done without AI generated imagery - only basic montages were used when needed), she has balanced each element serenely to create a surreal sense of beauty.”
