Baud Postma is a photographer known for his labour-intensive, technical approach to large-format photography. Over the past decade, he has developed a distinctive visual language, creating images defined by their singular texture and colour palette. His ongoing series A Slow Dance, which begun during the 2020 lockdown, grew from the simple act of bringing flowers into his London home. With unexpected time available, he observed each bloom closely, capturing their gradual unfolding and subtle movements in shifting light.

In his latest body of work, Death of the Author, Postma turns to AI as a tool for conceptual enquiry. Using prompt engineering to generate images, he then subjects these digital outputs to analogue interventions. The resulting works exist in dialogue with the past, present, and future of photography, prompting viewers to consider how emerging technologies might coexist with traditional practices, and it means today to ‘take a photograph’.

Postma’s work is held in international private collections. He has exhibited at Photo London; Photo Paris, The Royal Academy of Arts, The National Portrait Gallery, London; Print Space, London. He has also collaborated with numerous fashion brands including JW Anderson, Burberry, Dries Van Noten, Chanel, Erdem and Paul Smith. In 2025, Canopy Collections curated his first solo exhibition, titled Baud Postma: Cowboys & Flowers.
