“Sophie Kietzmann is a Berlin born, Brussels raised, gender fluid, queer photographer that currently resides and creates in New York City. So far, their path in photography has taken them through play, trauma, uprooting, coming out, identification and spirituality and has taught them precious lessons about visual representation of marginalized groups, gender expression and the fragility of social constructs.
Through their work, Kietzmann seeks to acquire an intricate connection with each of their subjects. They explore social and personal topics such as sexuality, tokenism and identity with the aims to guide their audience’s perspective and awaken awareness within their personal perception. Through this, their images not only evoke the observation of a subject but the deeply personal involvement of the observer.
They strives for alignment of their head, eye and heart through the tool of their craft.”
