Sophie Kietzmann - Filling the Gap in Visual Representation
Manage episode 350272454 series 2905529
"I’m a Berlin-born, Brussels-raised, gender-fluid, queer photographer that currently resides and creates in New York City. So far, my path in photography has taken me through play, trauma, uprooting, coming out, identification, and spirituality and has taught me precious lessons about the visual representation of marginalized groups, gender expression, and the fragility of social constructs.
Through my work, I look for an intricate connection with each of my subjects. I explore social and personal topics such as sexuality, tokenism, and identity with the aim to guide my audience’s perspective and awaken awareness within their personal perception. Through this, I hope to not only evoke the observation of a subject but the deeply personal involvement of the observer.
Since I was 7 years old I have strived for alignment of my head, eye, and heart through the tool of my craft."
