Kaat Pype

Ghent-based photographer Kaat Pype puts the spotlight on people. In her outstanding portraits, she emphasises spontaneous beauty in a style that is aesthetic, yet plain and pure. Pype eternalises her subjects with a completely natural expression. She captures that ultimate moment when someone finally unbends, when the face falls back to its essential fold.

Pype often surrounds her subjects with some alienating elements and lets them take on unusual postures. People appear perfectly relaxed within a slightly unsettling environment. This fascinating contrast makes that her subjects always allure.
