Sam Warnaar
Sam Warnaar (b. 2000) is an autonomous Dutch Photographer who graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Photography and Visual Communication from the Nederlandse Fotovakschool Rotterdam. Capturing her fascination for the female body, she is inspired by her models who expose themselves to her, which is shown in her photographs through the recurring themes of strength through vulnerability. Her vision of working with a model is that it is always an equal exchange and that the power lies in creating together.
“Once naked you can’t hide and it's the purest, most vulnerable, and strongest form to be in.”
Not constrained by depicting reality, she feels free to use the tools of her own imagination. Whether working in the studio or in nature, Warnaar maintains a characteristic style of minimalism, stripping down to the essentials of the image by focusing on abstraction, light, and composition.
