I was born in the Netherlands (1973). My interest in photography started after I lost my first son Klaas. He taught me to see because I needed to deal with my grief. Photography has made me increasingly aware of the world around me and I feel drawn to the documentary essay. The biggest reward are the people I meet. I live in Belgium with my wife and two of our children. info@edwardvanherk.com edwardvanherk [skype] www.edwardvanherk.com
