Streetphotography is
connecting + productivity
in hard mode.

Hi, I'm Hans van Zanten. It's great to see you!

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 6x6 medium format SLR camera, with only one lens and made in Russia.

A photographer was born. Since then 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 encouraging 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 off course there is more then steetphotography. 

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!

As you will discover, the website is 'work in progress'. It will take me some weeks, then you can order the photo that makes your home in my shop. I suppose you have your own taste for printpaper, seizes and frames. So I am managing all kind of choices to have the best and most beautifull result as you like it. And give you a good investment.

Once in a while I will send out a newsletter, with the progress of projects and invitations for meetings. Subscribe that one below!

Walk in Grace
