About

With specifically selected landscapes and carefully composed costumes and digital editing, she creates painterly photographic artworks that stimulate the imagination. Her mostly one-of-a-kind fashion designs are the result of labor-intensive handwork, artistry and craftsmanship combined with a strong desire to create sustainable. Vintage fabrics and materials are often used.
Inspiration
Ingeborg finds her inspiration in nature, stories and the pursuit of autonomy. Her photography workflow involves an extensive process, from writing scripts, scouting models, exploring landscape locations, creating self-designed costumes and decorations to hand-painting backgrounds. Most of her narrative photo series are taken outdoors in natural landscapes specially selected for the storyline. The conceptual 'Painted Bodies' photo series are mainly made indoors in a studio setting because of the intens bodypainting. During post-production, she edits her photos digitally on the computer and then often physically with mixed media techniques. It gives her photograps a special depth and unique signature. It results in 'painterly' fine art photography in which wonder, admiration, fantasy and reality alternate.

In 2006 she founded the fashion brands 'Ingeborg Steenhorst Couture' & 'I Style Stars'. Over time, she fell in love with fine art photography and mixed media art.
