Career
From 2006 to 2009 Robin de Puy studied at the Photo Academy Rotterdam ; For her photo series Meisjes in de prostitutie (Eng. Girls in Prostitution) she was awarded the Academy Prize for the best thesis. A portrait of her colleague An-Sofie Kesteleyn for the Volkskrant science supplement won the Dutch Portrait Prize in 2014, as well as nominations for the PANL Prize of the Dutch Photographers Association.
De Puy works for Elle , De Volkskrant , Marie Claire , Vrij Nederland , New York Magazine and others, where her photos are published.
With increasing popularity, the photographer felt the need to escape the growing (own and other) demands and to find back to her photographic roots. In the summer of 2015, she went on a 10-week motorcycle tour through the USA and photographed a series of intimate portraits, which were presented as a solo exhibition at the Hague Photo Museum in 2016.
De Puy lives in Amsterdam and New York City .
