Christine Mooijer

Christine Mooijer grew up in a small town, close to Amsterdam in distance, but a world of difference in everything else. Her staged cinematic stories feature both her realistic Dutch roots shaped by her Catholic upbringing, and the drama and grandeur of Hollywood, where she found the room to become her own person outside of expectations of her surroundings. Influenced by Hollywood, her portraits focus on women as the main characters in their own stories, after seeing them mostly take supporting roles, both on film and in real life. After receiving her BA in Photography in 2018, her work has been exhibited in multiple exhibitions, including Photo LA’s Open Show, CLUSTER’s ‘Metamorphosis’ in London, Art-Icon’s ‘Corporeality’ in Paris and ‘Static Cinema’ in Venice, Italy. Her photography was also featured in the first Art-Icon book, GUP’s Fresh Eyes 2020 and in New Dutch Photography Talent 2019. In 2026, she held her first solo exhibition Expand Horizon in Amsterdam.
