Ramona Deckers

Photographer

Ramona Deckers (1982), born in Tegelen, The Netherlands. Currently residing in Amsterdam.

Ramona Deckers' photographs, mostly of friends and people who inspire her, are raw, celebrate youthhood, and lay bare private moments. Their trust allows her to get close and reach a level of intimacy, honesty and realism that would be much harder to achieve with random strangers. It opens the door to a beauty of the natural kind. The chemistry between subject and photographer, one of the most important aspects of shooting candid portraits, is already established. In her free time she travels a lot and devotes her time to capturing the unfolding narrative on film. Big cities, the ruins, the silence - humans so delicate and fragile interacting with a big city - it's these fine contrasts that inspire her most.
