ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Rosa Stienstra — a Dutch photographer with a curious mind, a deep love for storytelling, and a passion for seeing the world from a different angle. From the soft glow of golden hour light filtering through the leaves of a tree, to the reflection of a building in a puddle — I love playing with light and new perspectives to uncover what often goes unnoticed.
My photography journey started in my teenage years, walking the streets with just a phone and a sense of wonder. I was inspired by creators on Instagram using the hashtag #mobilephotography, and quickly fell in love with the idea that you don’t need fancy gear to capture something meaningful. I am a true believer of the quote: the best camera is the one you have with you — and yes, that’s usually my phone. Yet sometimes I also love the extra benefits my Nikon 3200 camera gives me.
Instagram played a big role in shaping my photography style. I joined Instameets — gatherings where photographers from around the world came together to create, explore, and exchange ideas. That sense of community and shared creativity continues to inspire me today.
Curious to collaborate, ask a question, or just say hi? I’d love to hear from you, just write me a message!
