In her personal project "Mouse in cheesy crispy dreamland!" Sabine Scheer combines her focus on still life, food and animal photography all in one series and proves her unique and imaginative art of storytelling.

The little protagonist, the mouse, is in the absolute dreamland of a mouse: a cosy home full of cheese, chips and crackers. Within the series the mouse is shown in all her favourite places, e.g. in its bedroom, asleep and dreaming while snuggled up on the comfortable bed of crackers with a plaid rug of Gouda and Cheddar and wallpaper of Beemster cheese. Or in another image the mouse is seen in its kitchen, playing hide and seek in waves of sliced Gouda cheese and Tête de Moine rosettes.

With her exceptional style, Sabine Scheer can help you tell strong visual stories that show the spirit and vision behind the brand.
