STORIES
Ilove telling short stories in my photography. Where I can, I’ll drop in some subtle humor as well.

I’m at my best when I get to work with people, preferably in their ‘natural habitat’. I find meaning in shooting photo series for foundations, for example to portray people with a ‘health theme’. I won’t emphasize someone’s disabilities; I’ll find a way to tell both an honest and courageous story. A glimpse into their lives will bring a picture to life.

Alongside of these foundations, I thrive on working with ambitious people that embrace their passions and talents. I dance around those who allow themselves to be vulnerable. I get a kick out of pig-headed minds and those who are ‘on a mission’. And lets not forget to celebrate the real life artists and shiners.

I myself am a little bit of everything mentioned above.

ART ACADEMY
I graduated in 2007 at the St. Joost academy in Breda with a major in photography. After that, I immediately founded Madeleine Sars Photography.

In the following years I surrounded myself with an elaborate network of models, make-up artists, stylists and designers. I love collaborating with various driven and ambitious professionals who are in its broadest sense linked to photography.

PERSONAL WORK
Most of my personal work is captured on black and white roll film. I just love the language this medium speaks. Some of the ‘personal projects’ I’m currently working on:
1. The past 3 years I’ve been creating a book with a very personal theme, a long and exciting road.
2. In collaboration with a filmmaker, I’m also travelling all over the world to shoot a series of photos. For now, I’m going to remain mysterious about this project. We'll update you as soon as we can.
3. And last, but definitely not least; I’m working on a project about people with Multiple Scleroses.

AROUND THE WORLD
Next to photography I have a fascination for travelling. At the age of 16, I decided to broaden my horizon. I went to Australia to live in Sydney for 3 months. During my photography study I visited Turkey several times, among which Bursa and I stayed in Istanbul for a month to do a photography project about ‘youngsters in Istanbul’. After this, I got hungry for more. So photography projects followed in: Jamaica, California, New York, Cape Town, Paris, Milan, Dublin, Berlin and Vietnam. During all these travels I explored beyond the touristy routes to spend a lot of time with the locals to satisfy my curiosity of people, their culture and nationality, thoughts, fascinations, motivations and boundaries.

I can talk about photography for hours, but prefer to let my work speak for itself.
