About - Charmaine de Heij

Photographer based in Berlin.

In my photography I explore theboundaries between my dreams and reality.
It’s asurrealistic visual diary. I’m influenced by the things I am questioning, the incomprehensionof the world we live in today and occurrences close to me. The subjects of mywork are not always light, but I portray them in a colorful way. The world canalready be a dark place, there’s no need to overcast it with more shadow.
