Herma Darmstadt (Amsterdam, 1958) is a Dutch photographer who wants to show us that beauty is everywhere, just waiting to be seen.
Within the frame of her pictures daily scenes seem transformed into genre art , street views into impressionistic paintings and portraits into character studies. Her pictures give an impression of her travels, mainly through Africa, and the many encounters that are only possible if you travel like the locals, by bus from town to town and walking from village to village, just waiting for what’s coming , curious and full of astonishment for the unusual and the unexpected encounter.
