Carlies Mol is a female Dutch photographer who has spent many years developing her signature photography style. All of the photos have a strong universal character. Merging a passion for aesthetics and storytelling into eye-catching fine art photos.
‘With every photograph I make, I believe in the transformative power of art. By looking differently, you begin to see differently. The true difference lies in how you see people. When you recognise the value of those captured, you affirm your own value as well. While my photographs feature others, they reflect a sense of familiarity—a connection that feels timeless and personal.’

I’m a self-taught fine art photographer from the Netherlands, passionate about capturing the beauty in life’s ordinary moments.
My journey into photography began at the age of 20 when I stayed for a couple of months in Bogotá, Colombia. I was just graduated as a mental health care nurse and was eager to see other cultures. There, I bought my first camera to document the daily life, to show the beauty and familiarity of the people on the streets with family and friends back home. What started simple, turned into a life long passion.
Gradually, photography became a significant part of my life. Drawn to human connections, cultures, and religions, I kept on making photos. Over the years I developed my own photography style and method. I studied psychology and Middle- Eastern studies and moved from the Dutch countryside to Amsterdam, meanwhile seeing photography as a creative expression but not as a career.
A defining moment happened when visiting Iran while writing my masterthesis. In a way to make a better understanding of the Iranian culture and society, I pushed myself even more to make photos that showed the human in people in the everyday life. When I returned home, these photos gained attention on social media, leading to my first invitation to exhibit at a local art fair. There, I sold my first fine art photos.
From that moment I started to build a portfolio of art photography and the creative expression became a career. At first, I made photos in Middle Eastern countries only, later also in other parts of the world. Always with a focus on human beings, searching for familiarity and emotional connection. Themes like psychology, culture and religion are corner stones of my work. I strongly believe that my background in mental health care has provided me a unique perspective. Allowing me to observe life with care, depth, and an understanding of human nature.
Today, my fine art photos are presented in collections of limited editions and a coffee table book. Some photos are rewarded with awards and my work is exposed at art fairs.
And this passion that turned out in a career will continue to grow and glow.
