About

“Kim Koster, a portrait and fashion photographer based in the Netherlands,
holds true to a genuine aesthetic while balancing seemingly disparate spheres
of photography. Koster goes against the grain of glossy manipulated camera
work to champion visual candidness. Yet Koster’s photographic honesty paradoxically
seems unreal with dreamscape settings and analog exposures. In a world becoming
increasingly digitalized, where every pixel is resolutely defined, it’s interesting to
see artists returning to rustic photos in search of reality. These images hold a delicacy
akin to the mysterious screen shots of The Virgin Suicides. Going through her
portfolio will surely compel you to grow out your silky hair and bask in melancholic
rays of light. Koster’s legitimacy is sealed by her refusal to pin down the elusive
subjects pictured; each young woman will forever be more than just a simple
representation.”
