About
Ingeborg Steenhorst (born 1973) is a Belgian-Dutch visual artist, photographer, and costume designer. Her work is strongly influenced by nature, ethnic cultures and folklore. She uses both analog and digital photography as a means of (self-)reflection and awareness. Through narrative, staged photo series she expresses her emotions and reflects on themes such as spirituality, legends and sagas, folk tales and reconnection with nature.
Her signature style includes a theatrical use of light and shadow, which amplifies emotion and tension in her photographs. Her almost painterly approach to post-production, combined with the use of her own designed costumes, gives her photography a mysterious, layered, and compelling visual power.
Selected work
"The natural world is a place of wonder and imagination.
I see it as my calling to make it visible to you."

Books
Since 2025 Ingeborg Steenhorst self-publishes storytelling art books based on her photography and costume designs. The books are thematically related to narrative art projects, and form a completely new and autonomous chapter within her oeuvre.
