Landa Penders

It's probably way too early for me to write a biography, but since you clicked 'about', you're probably interested in the person who took all the photographs in this little online exhibition. Well, I'm a 20+3 year old chickabonita from Rotterdam and being from '89 made me a kid that grew up with internet and social media. I took my first selfportrait when I was 11 and wanted to share it online. Unfortunately I took it on film and I had no idea how to get it digitalized back then. It took a few more years 'till I discovered I had some sort of a talent when it came to photography. It didn't matter what camera I held in my hands, I just loved experimenting with light and composition. Digitalism caught up with me and I taught myself how to edit. At the age of 18, I started the study Lifestyle & Design at the art school, 'cause I'm very interested in people, identities and fashion and I wanted to learn all about those subjects. I made sure I photographed as much as I could during the assignments and I ended up interning in New York City for the talented photographer Joanna Totolici. In 2012 I graduated and I've been working freelance all over Europe ever since.
