Vera van Dam

ABOUT VERA VAN DAM
Vera van Dam (1989) studies at the Photo Academy in Amsterdam. She has been exhibiting regularly since 2017.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Van Dam met her models in South Africa last February. They mainly spoke about friendship and how powerful and supportive friendships can feel. It felt liberating to the photographer to experience the power of the moment by connecting with powerful souls.

THE JURY
The photos have a sculptural and graphic quality. We see extremely strong compositions as well as a timelessness. All kinds of associations tumble through our thoughts when we look at these images, which nevertheless have a power of their own.
