Isabella Rozendaal
author · photographer
Isabella Rozendaal is a Dutch photographer known for her work exploring the complex and often contradictory relationship between humans and animals. Her photography is characterized by a child-like curiosity and a fascination with how people express their affection—and sometimes exploitation—toward domestic and wild creatures. She gained recognition with her first book, 'On Loving Animals,' which served as both a photo exhibition and a thesis exploring the Dutch obsession with pets, show animals, and livestock.[1,2]
