Artists portrait of Jef van den Houte

Jef van den Houte

Jef van den Houte

  • Lives (lived) in Belgium

I'm a passionate amateur photographer for more than 30 years now.

Born near Brussels, I'm living since many years south of Antwerp (job related).

 I don't have any formal education in photography.

But my professional background lies in the related world of imaging and printing, with several international marketing and customer support functions in the Graphics Division of Agfa. As such I've been travelling a lot, mainly in Europe, North-America and Asia.

I did find my photographic knowledge through other sources.I quickly joined a photo club to learn from experienced photographers. I learned a lot through these contacts with other photographers, through reading about photography, visiting exhibitions and looking into photo books. But above all I learned a lot by submitting my own photographic work to comments and critics.

To get this critique and feedback I did participate in a lot of photo competitions: not to collect awards, but to expose my work to the judging of others. I'm not a competition driven photographer, trying to collect as many prizes as possible. It's not a real goal just a feeling good award.

I gathered quite some prizes, including in the prestigious Trierenberg Circuit. As such my work has been exposed all over the world in the exhibitions linked to these competitions.

From 2000-2003 I did follow an evening course (3 days a week) on digital imaging and creativity at the Antwerp Academy of Arts.

Although I do appreciate a wide diversity of photographic styles and motifs, my own photography goes mostly in the directions of architecture and more abstract shapes.

My aim in architectural photography is not to make documentary images. I want so show how I see the building, to create a kind of personal expression of the lines and the shapes, combined with the play of light on it. That's why I turn them often in black and white, since it reduces even more the architecture to a pure composition of light and tones.

 


The pictures are predominantly assigned to the art direction Photography.
Jef van den Houte was mainly concerned with the following motives: Architecture.
The art works of the artist are dominated by the colors black, gray and blue.

Stretcher on canvas

Our canvas prints are handmade in our own workshop. Either the canvas print or the art print laminated on a canvas is stretched onto a quality keyless frame. Perfectly wedged and provided with a suspension, the canvas image can be hung directly. Optionally, we also offer each canvas picture framed, i.e. with floater frame. »A symphony of lines« of Jef van den Houte as a canvas image also beautifies your home.

We frame almost every picture. You can choose from many different frames. Passepartouts are just as much a part of your choice as are various options for surface protection. So »The chimney« of Jef van den Houte becomes a highlight for your living room or bedroom.
