'The Bearable lightness of Being'
what remains if everything you wanted is no longer, all fantasies that you had as a child, all naivety leaves like snow in the sun. the only thing left is yourself, only you can pick it up again and believe in yourself, your naivity is taken away by the speed of society, the speed that you can hardly keep up. The bearable lightness of being indicates that there is always light also in times when we sometimes barely see the light.

About Nienke Wind

In a world full of miracles and fairy-tale scenes, Nienke Wind accompanies the viewer to her experience of this world. The perception of an image can be established in a fraction of a second; When viewing an image the viewer must drawn to the image in short time and been taken into a whole new world. To accomplish this Nienke combines the girlish innocence with a certain form of imperfection in her images. 'An image has to tell something, it must create an interest and touch you, this feeling differs per person viewing the image.’

Aesthetics and imperfections.
Nienke's images are dreamy, but refer to here and now. The eternal desire for the aesthetics of imperfection is what makes her images standout. The research on aesthetics is central, the untamed dream, the research into the animal instinct within human beings, raw but at the same time soft.
Due to her different approach to fashion photography Nienke was distinguished several times. The pictures standout due to a certain form of imperfection, Nienke's is fascinated by the creating a imperfection in her image , "a beautiful aesthetic image, yet it raises questions, that I'm aiming for.”

Fashion photography.
After completing the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen in 2003, Nienke worked for many different clients, from magazines to advertising agencies. Fashion designers who praised her for the way she approached fashion photography. After the Art Academy, Nienke finished a study film sciences at the university of Groningen to approach the creation of images more scientifically.
Due to her different approach to fashion photography she received various nominations and prizes from the fashion world. After these accomplishments Nienke shifted her focus towards making photographic documentaries in which she captured the world in a scenic way using social themes.
