Mariëtte Aernoudts started her photographic, self-taught journey as a late bloomer about 14 years ago. In the beginning, she focused mainly on capturing portraits, trying to capture the unique personalities of her subjects. Over time, her interest evolved and she focused on narrative stories through images.
The challenges and limitations of the corona pandemic forced Mariëtte to shift her focus to nature photography, concentrating on capturing nature in an abstract and almost mystical way. This offered her the opportunity to add a new artistic dimension to her work. Her dedication to photography has paid off, with recognition in both national and international competitions, giving her the opportunity to share her work with a wider audience. One of the highlights of her career was the opportunity to exhibit 10 of her photographs in Tuscany, Italy, for a whopping 5 months. She is also well aware that there is always room for growth and development. Photography remains an ongoing journey of discovery and creativity for Mariëtte, as she continues to hone her techniques and explore new ways to capture the world through her lens.
