Born in 1997, Mayte Breed runs a photographic practice based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She graduated from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in 2024, after earning a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies with a focus on Biology from the University of Amsterdam.
Drawing on a background in Biology, she approaches photography as her research method of the everyday. Consistent observation and natural curiosity allow Mayte to dissect the unnoticed. Through the medium of photography, she focuses on human interactions with their environment like artificial representations in urban settings, encounters with plants and animals, and glimpses through humid windows. This results in images with a sense of ease.
By careful pairings and different media - photography, moving images, installations, and bookmaking - she combines moments in time from a world that others only occasionally notice.
