Isabelle Kettner (b. 1985, Haarlem) is a Dutch photographer whose practice is structured through walking alongside nomadic and semi-nomadic communities, examining the fragile relationship between land and memory as movement becomes increasingly restricted by political control and environmental change. She studied at Fotoacademie Fotogram (2011).
Isabelle works as a freelance visual storyteller and Head Editor at the Women’s Press Agency (VrouwenPersBureau), focusing on women’s empowerment and social issues. She also leads photography workshops for the Weekendacademie, supporting creative growth among underrepresented youth.
Her recent exhibitions include JOURNEYS (Blow Up Gallery, 2022) and Remnants & Shards (Circle Gallery, 2021). Her work has appeared in Metier Magazine and National Geographic Traveler, and earned 2nd place in the 2024 Maghreb Photography Awards.
