Rala Choi is a photographer, whose vivid, ethereal images draw on the legacies of art history. Through a colour palate saturated with a painterly quality, Rala Choi's photographs create expressive depictions of our inner worlds and relationships. Following a successful few years in which Choi has had two sold-out solo shows in Seoul, the South Korean photographer was recently awarded the Grand Prix at the 37th International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Accessories, Hyères, which was exhibited at the Villa Noailles in 2022.

The photos that Hendrik Kerstens takes of his daughter Paula Kerstens have become iconic, world-famous works of art. What once started as a form of family photography, and then became a dialogue with the historical portraiture of the Low Countries, is now entering a new phase. Paula, now an adult, is gradually taking more control of her self-image. Paula has slowly become a series of self-portraits, one that celebrates the age-old game in front of the mirror, as new looks, styles and roles are constantly explored. Now a family business, the Kerstens continue to develop their work every day.

After an audiovisual course at the Rietveld Academy, she graduated in 1991 with the series "Bodylogos". She edited the photographic shots of herself first manually and later by computer. She explored the boundaries of photography with her digitally processed photographs. The female body, beauty and water were often the subjects. Her series "Bubbling" (1994) shows images consisting of body parts immersed underwater in interplay with air bubbles.
