'I see moods as images'. In my mind my own moods are often represented by places or buildings where I have been. I have visualized this way of thinking through a series of photo collages. The complexity (and simplicity) of moods are expressed through the the use of different layers of photographs, which were shot by me in different parts of the world. I want to leave it to the feelings of the viewer what they feel at a particular photo, what mood they see.

Cara Louwman (The Netherlands, 1967) is a contemporary fine art photographer specialized in creating images that tells a story. Inspired by her personal memories and influenced by different cultures, she uses photography as a mean to stage an idea and to present new perspectives on contemporary subjects. Her photographs are characterized by the use of multiple layers. Sometimes literally, like her staged still lifes in her studio. She creates images that are often different from a direct representation of reality.
