_____________________

Antje Peters was born in West-Berlin, Germany. In 2000, she moved to The Netherlands to study Photography at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht. 2016 she returned to her hometown where she is currently based. Since her photography degree, she works as an artist with the medium photography and as a commercial photographer. Since 2018, she works additionally as Video Director and occasional Art Director for special commercial projects. Peters contributes to international print-magazines like Numéro Berlin, Wallpaper*, Die Dame, ZEIT Magazin, Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, Alla Carta or Baron Magazine and and has shot campaigns for Rimowa, Birkenstock, Louis Vuitton, Farfetch, HUGO and Glossier.

Her personal work has been shown at C/O Berlin, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam and materialised into various artist books sold at international art book fairs like Off Print Paris and NYABF. ‘My work as an artist takes the existing stereotype of the medium of photography as its focus. Photography of the product becomes the subject within my work itself. Well known visual strategies of the advertising world are analysed and broken down with an artistic approach. Art as well as commercial photography change and influence each other.’
