BIO/CONTACT

     

    Taco van der Eb (1966, Leiden) graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the Hague in 1995. He has been working since then as a freelance editorial and commercial photographer in the Netherlands – his work is regularly being published in national and international newspapers and magazines. His (often news-related) documentary series are characterized by involved portrayals of compelling, human topics.

    Van der Eb received the Fujifilm Dutch Press Photo Award and was rewarded eight times in the Dutch photojournalists competition Zilveren Camera. Among others his work has been exhibited at the Museum Sieboldhouse Leiden, the National Museum of Ethnology, CBK Centre of Fine Arts, Paris Photo and the Visa Pour l’Image evening screening.
