Floor Verhulst (1999), based in Rotterdam
Floor, alias Flo, takes photographs because they want them to be important. As a queer and non-binary individual, they have always missed representation of other people like them while growing up. Through their photography, they want to make the invisible visible by creating their own world in which the (gender)queer identity is not only fully accepted, but also celebrated. Inspired by intimacy, relationships, and the queer identity, they will photograph anyone who is not afraid to show their true colors. Because to them, representation is not only knowing other people like you exist, but also seeing a piece of yourself in others and thus fully embracing this.
Over the past years, Flo has worked on commission as well as on personal projects. Their work has been featured on VICE, KEXP, Crack Magazine and Elle Magazine, they have worked for clients like Theater Rotterdam, Dekmantel Festival and De Volkskrant, and within a few months of working as a photographer they already had a magazine cover under their belt.
