Katrien Franken

Katrien Franken is a Dutch photographer based in Amsterdam, like a lot of other photographers her work popped up in my inbox, however unlike some she is truly, truly special.
I love all the various facets of her work, she covers portrait, still life and architecture, all with the same melancholy and grace.
Check out her personal website as she has some truely stunning work, her projects UVA (12 months of "portraits" taken from the same position of the facade of the University of Amsterdam and Krijin De Koning an exploration of an interior space designed by Dutch architect Krijin De Koning.
Below is images from her PANL 2010 nominated series "I Am Near"
