PHOTOGRAPER BASED IN AMSTERDAM – THE NETHERLANDS
Growing up close to forest and wide spaces, Kaj Venhuizen ( born 1972, Zutphen) has been slowly prepared to have a close relationship with nature. After roaming the globe for a year in his early twenties, his confrontation with different continents and its natural state, made a big impression on him. His desire to learn and see more of life around the planet has increased. The intense draw towards new worlds, has ultimately resulted in his artistic work as it is now.
“I have become so in awe with Nature, that I can only be humble and return to a natural state of being, that seems to be lost in every day life in the Western world”
Many of his projects involve a transcendent way of looking at life, people and the individual. He feels nature often serves as a way to confront ourselves and our state of being.
