About Harry van Voorden

Harry van Voorden is a retired art director and graphic designer. He took his first photograph of Antwerp and its people on a class trip when he was eighteen. He never stopped photographing it. Today, based in Antwerp, Belgium, he has quietly documented the life of the city in black-and-white photography that captures its architecture, workers, and streetscapes with understated beauty and gentle humor. Schooled in analog photography and design, he avoids post-processing and digital alterations, preferring the traditional (and difficult) art of capturing the moment.
