Black-and-white portrait of Simone Steenberg
Portrait of Simone Steenberg.

In Simone Steenberg’s photographs, the pose is a shared invention. Drawing on her background in dance and her interest in feminist performance, Steenberg works with her sitters to explore how a gesture takes shape before the camera. A garment can extend the line of the body. A shift in weight can give a still figure the sense that she is about to move. The women in these photographs take part in shaping how they appear, and familiar images of femininity become open to play and revision.

Steenberg uses styling to give the sitter a way to act within the image. An object can redirect attention from the face to a gesture or change the shape the body makes.

Simone Steenberg

Lover’s Boots (b/w), 2018

C-type print on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper
60 × 80 cm (M), 80 × 106 cm (L), 100 × 130 cm (XL)
Editions of 30 (M), 15 (L) and 5 (XL), signed and numbered

Reserve

A pose develops through the sitter’s relation to the camera and to the space around them. Outdoors, Steenberg can use the lines already present in the landscape to give that gesture a measure.

The Bat (Ballet), 2026

Simone Steenberg

The Bat (Ballet), 2026

C-type print on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper
60 × 80 cm (M), 80 × 106 cm (L), 100 × 130 cm (XL)
Editions of 30 (M), 15 (L) and 5 (XL), signed and numbered

Reserve

The height of the camera helps determine how a body occupies a photograph. Steenberg can make the ground a point of contact and give a held pose a sense of effort.

Girl on the Hill (II), 2019

Simone Steenberg

Girl on the Hill (II), 2019

C-type print on Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper
60 × 80 cm (M), 80 × 106 cm (L), 100 × 130 cm (XL)
Editions of 30 (M), 15 (L) and 5 (XL), signed and numbered

Reserve

Steenberg varies how much of the face is visible. When a gesture interrupts the gaze, clothing and posture take on more of the work of portraiture.

In the Clouds, 2023

Simone Steenberg

In the Clouds, 2023

60 × 84 cm (M), 80 × 112 cm (L), 100 × 130 cm (XL)
Editions of 30 (M), 15 (L) and 5 (XL), signed and numbered

Reserve

A landscape brings conditions that change during a sitting. Steenberg works with that movement, allowing marks, surfaces and the position of the body to register a particular interval.

Sea Surrender, 2025

Simone Steenberg

Sea Surrender, 2025

60 × 90 cm (M), 80 × 120 cm (L), 100 × 130 cm (XL)

Reserve

Working with movement changes the decision of when to release the shutter. A gesture can be held for the camera or recorded as it passes through the landscape.
