Valerie Ardini

2002-2006 AKI Academy of Fine Arts, Enschede, The Netherlands

Commercial work

I specialize in architectural photography and interior photography. You can hire me for commercial photography and (small) product photography as well.

In my commissioned work I strive for technical perfection. I prefer quality over quantity and a good relationship with my clients over anonymous work.
I love my work and I want you to love it, too. If that appeals to you ànd you like my portfolio, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Autonomous work / fine art

In my autonomous work I focus on the space around us, how people relate to this space, influence it, interact with it and leave their mark on it.

Furthermore, I am continuously searching for tranquility and simplicity, which can be difficult in a densely populated country like The Netherlands, where we have laws and regulations to define every square meter and where nothing is left to chance- if possible. The random, coincidental and unexpected things are the things that really interest me.

Analog

I still love working analog. In most of my autonomous work I used film or worked with polaroids. I like to choose the medium to fit the subject beforehand. Working with film creates a different mindset and makes me more focussed on what really matters.
