Hello! My name is Robin Butter, she/her visual artist from The Hague, Netherlands. As a child, my dream was to become an archaeologist, inspired by the sense of adventure that digging in the earth evoked in me. However, my passion for storytelling has since blossomed! To which documentary photography becoming a tool for exploring history, mythology in social topics.

In my work, I strive to approach these subjects in a vibrant and engaging manner, working closely with the communities. Through my colorful and imaginative storytelling, I aim to challenge perceptions and spark connections with others, creating a space by weaving together elements of a self-created history and everyday life, I invite viewers to escape the ordinary and embark on a journey of discovery with me.

Graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague in 2014. Photographing shooting ranges in the Netherlands titled "It Takes My Mind Off Things". The work was self-published as a photobook in November 2015, with the launch at Paris Photo.

In december 2023 the photobook Drakeblood (blood of the dragon) was released by publisher Lecturis.
I worked from 2018-2023 closely with the village-community of Beesel & Stichting Draaksteken. It was a process to take the viewer through the almost elusive intertwining of different realities in Beesel. The village holds great symbolic significance for me, and in my book, I capture this village and its elusive myth.
