Viviane Sassen, photographer


"I was really taken with Amsterdam-based photographer Viviane Saasen and i would like to share with you her work.

Her photographs, taken in Uganda, Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania, tease fashion conventions but with really witty and unexpected results, partly because her subjects are all young Africans who seem to have enjoyed collaborating with her.

She tends to treat the body as a sculptural element- a malleable shape that combines blocks of shadow and bright colours in arrangements that sometimes read like cut-paper collages, bold and abstract but full of vibrant life".
