Cornelie Tollens


Cornelie Tollens (The Netherlands, 1964), represented by both her autonomous work and fashion photography, works for Elle, Dutch and Blvd., among other magazines. Raucousness and vulnerability vie for precedence in her deliberately composed photographs. She makes sophisticated use of the seductive power of colour and light, which can give her work a strongly erotic undertone. Tollens frequently employs elements from the plant and animal world, using them to refer to fundamental urges in human existence - eating and being eaten, reproduction, power - which form a counterweight to the outward beauty of the photographs.
