Sander Coers is a Rotterdam-based photographer whose photos navigate the delicate intersection between documentary and fiction. Through a discerning lens, Coers offers fresh perspectives on masculinity by capturing, revisiting, and deconstructing memories within evocative and romantically hued realms that possess an undeniable cinematic quality.
Central to his body of work is the recurring theme of coming-of-age, contemplating narratives of love, friendship, and self-acceptance, drawing inspiration from his family, friends, and peers. Coers’ visual vocabulary is heavily influenced by nostalgic recollections of his youth in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, infusing his portraits, still-life compositions, and landscapes with vibrant hues and profound emotional depth, resulting in photos that feel ethereal and introspective.
