Simone Peerdeman

Simone Peerdeman’s (1976) photographs capture her fascination of every day life - those moments that are imbued with reflection and somehow seem significant - like stills from a movie. Buildings, objects and people, she isolates her subjects in their own thoughts.

From a young age Simone is fascinated by the daily lives of strangers. As a teenager, while doing her paper round, she looked through windows, wondering about the people that lived there. She always had an extra interest in those who seemed to live their life authentically, being themselves without too much concessions. As an adult she expresses this fascination in her photography. Recurring themes in her work are 'identity', 'solitude' and 'authenticity'.

She graduated Cum Laude from Fotovakschool University of Applied Photography Amsterdam in July 2016.
