Through the Eyes of Others, I See Me

“I like Micky Hoogendijk’s work very much. It draws me in and talks to me.” – Terry O’Neill A recurring theme in the photographs of Micky Hoogendijk is that she sees herself through the eyes of others. This book tells her personal story in images, where her doll house, dreams, memories, reality and fiction, models and gender play an important role. It is, among other things, an ode to Hoogendijk’s mother, who gave her the camera she now uses just before she passed away. “I allow my model’s instinct and personality to melt together with my camera and drive my creative inspiration. I coax trust, contact and vulnerability from my subjects in order to produce an image from which the viewer can then create his own world.” – Micky Hoogendijk. instagram.com/mickyhoogendijk twitter.com/mickyhoogendijk facebook.com/mickyhoogendijk
