Contact Merette Kuijt






My photos are sensory. You can feel them, smell them, taste them. The slight roughness of a linen dress, the smell of a warm summer day. When photographing, my attention is focused on the seemingly unimportant detail. That baby curl that always points the wrong way. We often pay more attention to the big things that we consider important. Only later do we realize that happiness often lies in small things. 
 
My style lies between documentary and lifestyle. In my work I direct as little as possible and only intervene to remove disturbing elements that do not contribute to the story. I like photographing people. I believe that you can capture the most beautiful moments if you let a person do what they want and don't direct too much. I capture those moments in which you are yourself, in which there is real emotion. A beautiful photo cannot be forced, it comes naturally when someone feels comfortable.
