Mayte Breed (b. 1997) runs a photographic practice in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in 2024, after receiving her bachelor’s degree in Future Planet Studies with a major in Biology from the University of Amsterdam. Coming from a small village Egmond aan den Hoef, she often feels overwhelmed by the fast pace of life, which leads to use photography as a method to explore and understand the everyday. Through her lens, she captures human interactions with their environment. This includes artificial representations in urban settings, encounters with plants and animals, and glimpses through humid windows. Her images evoke a sense of ease, achieved through careful pairings and the use of various media—photography, moving images, installations, and bookmaking. She combines moments in time from a world that often goes unnoticed by others.
