Time Out
Behind the veil of the usual seing the unseen
with Fine Art photography as second love
Hi, I am Hans van Zanten. Great to see you here!
If you are mainly a streetphotographer you are on the right spot.
Read and join me.
When I was 16 years I got my first camera as a gift from a very kind photographer in the village Overschie, near Rotterdam. It was a GOMZ SALYUT 6×6 medium format SLR camera, with only one lens and made in Russia. A photographer was born. From that time on I never have been without a camera, although I never have become a professional photographer too. Life chooses its own way, isn’t it?
Is your love like mine?
My purpose with this website is about the art of streetphotography. I am not the only one that loves this wandering around through cities and neighbourhoods, having a coffee in a bar and talks with people that are so kindly to let them be shooted, with my camera off course. But there is more then streetphotography. Fine Art ultimatedly is my second love.

Empty Moments
Being a meditation teacher for years has influenced my view. Shooting photo’s is shooting moments that never can exist on their own. They come and go in a flow and never will exist anymore. In a way it’s shooting death and creating new moments out of the old one again and again, each time a photo is seen by a viewer.
I am looking for spaciousness and relaxing moments, appearences that will emerge due to circumstances. Like a individual flower that emerge out of the stream of endless cosmic particles.
You will only discover that dynamic proces if you stop with running around. So, Time Out!

My Time Out Notes
I love writing little stories as chaperonne for my photo’s, like about that lovely breakfast at Cobenhagen in an artist coffeeshop. I publish in Substack (@hansvanzanten). But you can read first-hand when you sign-in for the Time Out Notes. And yes, don’t forget to see my shop page. Your wall will love it.
