Ottilie Maters

Director, photographer, and cinematographer at STUDIO OT

The OT of OtandI, represented by 100prcnt.film

​

Anything has a right to be observed. I create, I capture, I share. I place movement, ideas, and inspiration into a connected world, and I encourage whoever wants to explore the unknown — including myself.

My visual practice moves across photography, film, and moving image. I create a space for growth and empathy, where understanding can hold what differs.

My focus is on subcultures, countercultures, and taboo-labelled topics. I dedicate my practice to visually researching the movement of human culture.

 

Born and raised in Amsterdam, now based between Amsterdam and Berlin.

Collaborated with Heineken, Filling Pieces, Nike, Adidas, Wrangler, G-Star, Warner, LEE, K1X, NPO, Univé, Superball Amsterdam, Médecins Sans Frontières, Stichting Confetteria, and Magit. STUDIO OT is where the work lives.
