Isabella Rozendaal, born in Amsterdam in 1983, is a documentary photographer driven by the tension of contrasting elements. Her aim is to capture images that are both humorous and tragic, beautiful and horrible, or sweet and provoking. The medium she has always chosen for her work is the photo book, with several publications to her name since graduating from the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts in 2007. Through her books, she explores a broad spectrum of cultural phenomena. Although her style may come across as bold and candid, she always strives to tell a nuanced story.
As Isabella worked on her current project, titled Isabella Hunts, she found herself drawn to writing as well. This project delves into the world of hunting cultures around the globe, taking her on many journeys and immersing her in a world often shrouded in secrecy. In order to shed light on the complex nature of this controversial world, she channels her interest into writing magazine articles and plans to ultimately publish a written book on the subject. Recently, she acquired a second bachelor’s degree in English language, culture, and linguistics from the prestigious University of Amsterdam. Her passions include animals, travel, food, American culture, and old-time country music.
