Linette Raven is a photographer. People, heritage and flowers are the main subjects in the work that the artist-photographer Linette Raven initiates and develops. Linette wants to inspire people to look at each other and the environment again. Linette sees photography more as a craft than just a beautiful photo. She photographs close to the skin, both literally and figuratively.
In her work, Linette looks for nuances that give (tulip) portraits content and meaning, and that are necessary for her to empathize with the stories of the person portrayed. Expressions, emotions and urgency are palpable. All her outdoor projects with meter-sized portraits are usually accompanied by sound installations and interviews. Her (tulip) portraits speak for themselves.
As a photographer, Linette Raven has been based in Amsterdam with her studio since 2018.
