Hermine Patch is a fine art photographer mainly working within the genres of portraiture and still life. Her images are usually staged, representing fictional situations that convey a certain message related to existence, human psyche or wellbeing. Her goal is to make a viewer curious, think or question.
Hermine finds a lot of inspiration in architecture, interior design and space in general. The choice of location for the shoot is a vital part of her creative process. Her photographs serve as a construction of a daydream into reality, something she desires to experience herself. The aim is to capture a feeling of being nowhere, like there is no space and time set for the compositions. She calls this in between state - a metaphor to meeting room with inner self, the most intimate place within. Hermine claims to experience this on set when photographing - getting immersed in the moment to the point of losing the actual sense of space and time.
Being profoundly fascinated with outer space, her compositions are normally held in a clean, colourful and sort of sci-fi setting - reminiscing of spaceship interiors. She describes them as remote places of silence, where no distractions are interfering with one's experience of a moment.
"When in space, people are usually confronted with the fundamental questions of existence because there is not much left - no past or future, just a quiet gaze into a glittering void - a presence.
