Paul Kooiker

photographer

Paul Kooiker is a Dutch visual artist and photographer born in Rotterdam in 1964. He studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam between 1990 and 1992. His work operates at the intersection of fashion and art, characterized by an idiosyncratic style that explores voyeurism, fantasy, and the representation of the human body. Kooiker is known for creating a unique form of still life and fashion photography that avoids conventional beauty in favor of evocative, often unsettling imagery.[1,2,3,4]
