Photographer Dorith Mous

Born in Amsterdam and based in New York City, photographer and artist Dorith Mous was seemingly born into her art – gaining beautiful knowledge of physical form and being able to capture depth from a subject through her own nomadic experience as a fashion model for the past decade.

Now moving fluidly from a storied career in front of the lens to one behind it, as a photographer, Dorith elicits an artful finesse of the soul from the body – one in which her subjects both exude and challenge archetypes of beauty. Shooting mainly black-and-white film, she tries to make clear that obscurity, between who someone is seen as and who someone is beneath the surface.

With her successful debut exhibition in New York City, entitled “I Am YOU”, Dorith continues to create awareness by means of this same harrowing honesty that permeates through her portraiture of subjects.
