Wouter Vanhees (1978) is a Belgian photographer, based in Asia 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 Jakarta International Photo Festival 2021, 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, American Suburb X and L'Oeil de la Photography.
