About
Isis Torensma 1974, St. Annaparochie the Netherlands.
After different studies, travels and living abroad, now based in Utrecht the Netherlands. From here I work as a freelance photographer since graduating from the Utrecht school of the arts in 2000.
Working as a photographer I produce commissioned work as well as non commissioned work. If not working on one of my projects I also teach photography or photography related projects at schools or to different groups.
I love to sit and observe human nature and the world passing. I sometimes reflect or even just share a split moment of my observations. Some of my work is also quite personal. I examine myself and my surroundings by working in a way that is sometimes very intimate in concept, meaning or image.
In some of my personal work I focus on collecting. Different interests, ideas and fascinations urge me to collect different types of images which I arrange as series. Usually working on more projects at a time I never have my eyes closed. Most projects are ongoing and therefor always changing. Once I start collecting I become greedy for more. A good new photo in a series is like a new pair of shoes and makes me just as happy.
