Harmen Meinsma

fotografie

Harmen Meinsma is an artist working with photography, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. For Meinsma, it is always important that he is showcasing the underrepresented, celebrating diversity, and inspire others to feel comfortable with who they are. He finds his subjects with a deep curiosity and appreciation of their individuality and unusual beauty.

In his work, he is making references to popular culture and is embarking upon the realms of kitsch pop surrealism. In some images, the photographer creates a staged dialogue between him and his subjects, by posing along with them like true partners in crime.

Harmen Meinsma received his BA (Hons) degree from the Willem de Kooning academy in 2017. Harmen is working on vibrant personal and commissioned projects since then. His work is exhibited in New York during Photoville in 2019 and has been featured in magazines such as &C, Vogue NL and i-D.
