Dutch Light

by Mieke Douglas (United Kingdom)

Mieke is an internationally awarded Dutch-Canadian photographic artist, living in London.

Her work explores themes of intimacy and human connection. She is known for her atmospheric lighting and surreal perspectives. Often described as moody and painterly, her images evoke a quiet tension—inviting viewers into moments that are both beautiful and unsettling.

Mieke’s photographic practice is inspired by the Old Dutch Master Painters’ masterful use light – guiding the eye to reveal key details, while using shadow and half-light to obscure others, creating a rich sense of depth and mystery.

She has been the recipient of numerous major awards including a Sony World Photography Award. Her work has been featured in publications and exhibitions worldwide, including at the Royal Academy of Art, London. She has held Solo Shows, ‘STILL’ in London and ‘Lost Society | Looking In Through Glass’ in Sydney.
