‘Eyes show what the heart feels’

Marieke Struijk (1993) was born in Rotterdam. From a young age, photography has been a way for her to express her sensitivities through images. With her father’s camera, she could observe the people around her and give emotions a face.

After studying Business Administration, Marieke interned at the production company Moondocs and after that, started working as a freelance photographer. Her work has been exhibited at ‘Het Nederlands Fotomuseum’ and in an open exhibition by the Municipality of Rotterdam.

Photography and film are for Marieke the most natural ways to delve into her interest in people, emotions, and the human mind. She examines the energy that people radiate and captures it from a gentle, kind, subtle perspective.
