Photographer's highlight #22 Jack van Heugten


Jack van Heugten is from Nijmegen, a city which sits on the Netherlands/Germany border.

After studying socialism, Jack went on to work as a communication advisor and describes himself as “A father of an eight year old beautiful girl, living my life as a wanderer and wonderer. Romantic by nature, not by conviction

Since his childhood, Jack has been fascinated by “the magical powers of photography”. As a boy he would find his attention caught by a photo for hours, he found it to be sheer magic.


Jack follows the works of many contemporary photographers but also finds a wide array of inspirations by the more “old school” photographers such as Cartier-Bresson, Newman, Erwitt, Van Der Elsken, Morayama, Araki and Salgado to name a few.


Jack says, “Personally, I'm 'against the passing of time'... That is, I think, my reason to take pictures, and in that process I'm just looking rather intuitively for beauty and harmony, wherever it meets my eye. There is no plan, but on a subconscious level I'm fighting my little war against the passing of time...”
