Mariëtte Aernoudts is a self-taught photographer/image maker who has received international awards for her work. In contrast to her portrait photography, she creates her own fairy-like, poetic dreamworld with narrative images. Her photos are enriched with other things from her imaginary world. She wants to get rid of the roughness and soften the realistic world a bit. She is always looking for innovation, for her own feeling which she wants to put into her pictures. With these additions, she wants to make her photos subtle images that evoke just that little bit extra in the viewer.
