Wouter Vanhees (1978) is a Belgian photographer, based in Hanoi since 2015. Life in Hanoi sparked an interest in the rapid rate of urbanization of Vietnamese cities and the social implications this creates. Change, transformation and growth are recurring themes in his artistic work. Wouter's work has been featured at the Belfast Photo Festival 2021, OpenWalls Arles 2020, Matca Space for Photography, the Angkor Photo Festival and Workshops 2019, The Washington Post, Corriere dela Serra, VICE Asia and L'Oeil de la Photography. Below is a full overview of all awards, exhibitions and features to date. Wouter has participated in several workshops, such as Diana Markosian's 'Rewriting a Personal Narrative' Masterclass at FotoFilmic, and the 'IPA Mentorship Program', organized by Invisible Photographer Asia, an influential platform for photography and visual arts in Asia. |
