Van Der Heijden

Thun, Switzerland

I am a Dutch-born portrait photographer based in Switzerland, working under the name Catharina’s Boudoir. My focus is on women, not as concepts or roles, but as people. I am drawn to portraits that feel honest and grounded. Images where presence matters more than perfection, and where a woman is allowed to simply be, without performing. My work moves between boudoir, fine art portraiture and personal storytelling. Alongside photography, I work in the medical field as a radiology professional. This background strongly influences how I approach my subjects: with care, respect and an awareness of vulnerability. Trust and respect are central to my work. I prefer simple setups, natural light when possible, and a calm atmosphere. My aim is not to impress with complexity, but to create images that feel true and lasting. Photography, for me, is not about labels or trends. It is about seeing someone clearly and allowing space for their story to exist within the frame.

Eapen

Muscat, Oman

Rachel Eapen is a fine art and conceptual photographer based in Oman. She is drawn to the spaces where silence speaks and shadows breathe. Her work explores the unseen layers of identity and emotion, using light and shadow as both veil and revelation. Rooted in tradition yet reaching toward the abstract, each image becomes a dialogue between concealment and disclosure, fragility and strength. Through portraiture and experimental forms, she dissolves cultural, emotional, and visual boundaries, inviting viewers into a shared space of reflection. Her photography captures presence: how one feels, remembers, and chooses to be seen. She has exhibited in Oman, Dubai, and Athens, where her work is recognized for its unique storytelling.
