For me photography is the way by which I can express my inner feelings. My moods and desires are the source of inspiration of what I want to create. It's my way of self-expression and from that the or a possibility to communicate with my fellow human beings. Through photographing as well as by showing the result of the process, the photos themselves, I can show who I am.
Besides portraying I want to tell about the atmosphere and my story of a specific place or circumstance. I would like to describe my style of photography as autonomously documentary. Sometimes I mount a situation. By mounting I can add something to the story that I want to tell. These are my own fantasies that have a clear relationship with the subject that I am following with my camera at that specific moment. To me humour, recognition, alienation, and summoning questions are the most important ways of expression.
"Wiesje Peelsī photos are mere an expression of how she interprets and
lays her hands on personal proportions. She specializes situations she encounters
and elaborates them in accurate photographic compositions. You can find the
power of her photos in the vulnerability of human transcendence. Something
that's valuable, is often bound to disappear. Right before it fades away,
wiesje peels anchors it in a compelling image."
