Benjamin van der Zalm

Van der Zalm photographs majestic landscapes—ravines, canyons, or plateaus—but he always interrupts the grandeur with an intimate detail, merging awe-inspiring beauty with the more heartwarming beauty of personal moments. While van der Zalm’s work initially draws viewers in with its powerful aura, it also offers them access to a delicate personal experience with the natural world. Born in 1985 in Brasschaat, Belgium, van der Zalm studied art and metalwork in Antwerp. He currently lives and works in Ekeren, Antwerp.
