Tatum Kempers is a Dutch based artist, living and working in Silvolde, the Netherlands.
The photographic work of Tatum Kempers consists of self-portraits that she makes using various techniques. For example, she uses light painting (painting with light), long exposure photography, painting and she uses her iPhone or analogue techniques. She wants to create a new image that goes beyond a standard portrait.
The process is like a diary to her. With this she explores her inner conflicts. She experiences, tests and tries, guided by her feelings and emotions and lets the process evolve.
Through her work as a social worker she became fascinated in how people see you and how quickly we judge each other. She is by nature an enthusiastic but shy person and is not keen on being in the spotlight.
With her pictures she tries to look at herself in a different way and expresses how she feels about herself and how others might look at her. She pushes her own limits.
In addition to photographic work, Tatum Kempers makes video clips for bands and art installations consisting of video, photography, painting, animation, sculptures and performance.
Tatum Kempers graduated at the school for photography in Breda, the Netherlands, in 2014. Since then she has been working as an autonomous photographer.
