Lieke Zweekhorst (1993) is a Dutch autonomous photographer whose work explores and reflects on the emotional connections between herself, the subjects she captures and their surroundings.

Her photography shows a genuine curiosity and an emotional involvement with her subjects.
With her background as a social and mental health care provider, she uses her openness and way of understanding to connect with people.
In her body of work, she blends portraiture with landscape and still life, often driven by themes or narratives that offer further layers of meaning to the viewer. She captures images with universal themes that viewers can relate to, while leaving the interpretation and intensity up to the viewer.
Ultimately, Zweekhorst aims to create work that resonates on a profoundly human level. Through her photography, she strives to bridge the space between the viewer and the often-unspoken layers of life, encouraging others to connect with the emotional essence of the subjects she portrays. For her, photography is not just a means of expression; it is a way of understanding and connecting to the world, capturing the fleeting moments that define the human experience.
