Annet Neijmeijer is a contemporary fine art photographer. In her work, she explores concepts of space, time and light.
In essence, space, time, and light are inseparable components that define the fabric of the cosmos. And photography is inherently rooted in these fundamental principles as well, both technically and artistically.
Annet’s research into these elements and their interplay leads to photographs where the boundaries between reality and imagination and between the finite and the infinite blur. They are created illusions of enclosed spaces and boundless landscapes, of environments where linear constraints dissolve and where light seeps through the cracks.
These visual expressions serve as portals to question our perceived reality and to peer beyond the surface.
Annet Neijmeijer (the Netherlands, 1960) became a photographer after a successful career in communications for various NGO’s. Recently, she decided to give up that career to devote herself entirely to photography.
