About Martien Mulder

Dutch-born Martien Mulder combines portraiture, fashion, landscape and still-life photography. Now living in New York, her pictures have appeared in magazines such as i-D, French Vogue and Arena Hommes Plus; exhibitions have been staged in both New York and Tokyo.

Martien discovered her love of photography already as a teenager. Her first pictures date from her high school years, when friends would pose willingly in her home-made studio. After studying art history and majoring in contemporary photography she decided to take her own pictures more seriously.

By composing little books of personal photographs and travel shots, Martien developed a language that was easily understood by clients. Jumping into the profession with unlimited enthusiasm and openness to all genres, she has travelled the world, wherever assignments have led her, and created personal work at the same time. The variety of her subjects asks for strong consistency in style and approach. Martien developed the ability to create stories that are easy on the eye. People seem to be comfortable in front of her, and static objects are brought to life by her quietly focused attention.      more
