HUNGRY EYE Gallery introduces michel haddi
Michel Haddi is an internationally acclaimed photographer and director known for his powerful visual storytelling and distinctive style. For over three decades, he has captured the essence of fashion, film, and celebrity through striking, intimate portraiture.
Working across major fashion capitals including London, Paris, Milan, New York, and Los Angeles, Haddi has photographed some of the most iconic figures of our time. His work reveals a rare ability to see beyond the surface, offering a raw, cinematic glimpse into the personalities behind the fame.
Now based in London, Haddi also runs MHS Publishing, producing limited-edition books that showcase his vast archive. The Hungry Eye Gallery in Amsterdam marks a new chapter in his career: a space dedicated to celebrating his bold and timeless vision.
HUNGRY EYE presents a Short docu about sara punt.
We present a beautiful short film that captures the essence of Sara Punt’s artistic process. She tapes off parts of the body to reveal only the image she envisions, a unique and authentic way of working. The concept is not only clearly articulated and thoughtfully explained by the artist herself, but also beautifully captured on film by our talented videographers, Anne van den Hooven and Masao Parris.
Hungry Eye Gallery welcomes
William Ernult (France)
William Ernult is a true rough diamond, a Photographer & Visual artist who follows his own path and, despite only recently stepping behind the camera, is already creating work of remarkable emotional depth. Keep an eye on him, because this is only the beginning of a distinctive visual voice we’ll be seeing much more of in the years to come. The French photographer and visual artist transforms intimate emotions into striking visual narratives where light, the human body, and symbolism intertwine. His work explores identity, solitude, and self-representation through a cinematic fine-art lens. He presents his celebrated series The Weight of Clothes alongside new works that reflect on memory, transformation, and inner strength. Each image unfolds as a quiet tableau, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where dreams and reality softly converge, a world of quiet power and luminous storytelling.
The Gallery welcomes acclaimed photographer Jasper Zwartjes.
Zwartjes returns to the roots of the medium, working with an analogue 8×10” view camera—large, weighty, and exacting. Each photograph is the result of a slow, intentional process: every moment carefully composed, every plate worth the effort.
Instead of chasing spectacle, he turns his lens toward quiet, everyday subjects—a tulip shifting in form, a weathered tin, a toy car carrying memories. In these details he uncovers hidden beauty and a quiet kind of magic, creating work that is both technically refined and emotionally resonant.
For Zwartjes, photography is an inward journey: a way to see and feel the world anew, to pause and find meaning in what might otherwise go unnoticed. Following the presentation of his large-format floral works at the Hungry Eye Fair, Jasper will make his debut with the Hungry Eye Gallery at PAN from 1–9 November.
NEWs
HUNGRY EYE Gallery introduces julia dongstra
We are please to introduce Julia Dongstra (1990). Julia is a photographer who shares intimate parts of her life with the viewer. Her images express deeply rooted emotions and lived experiences, revealing a personal and vulnerable visual language.
Her work can be described as raw and pure: rugged, untamed landscapes bathed in natural light, often paired with the nude female form. Sometimes this form enters into a dialogue with the surrounding nature. Sometimes it remains completely separate.
In her search for an ideal interplay of form and line, Julia prefers to work, unlike many other photographers, with bright, intense sunlight. This creates sharp, defined shadow lines that both reveal and conceal; light exposes details, while the shadows invite mystery.
HUNGRY EYE Gallery expands its family with Janus van den eijnden.
Janus van den Eijnden is a Dutch photographer and visual artist with over two decades of experience. Rooted in black-and-white photography, his work evokes a quiet, poetic atmosphere through light, shadow, and texture.
In recent years, he has become a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence, not just as a tool, but as a creative partner. With precision and patience, he crafts prompts that result in AI-generated images with surprising emotional depth.
What sets Janus apart is the harmony between his classical photographic vision and his innovative use of AI. Whether created through a camera or code, his images remain deeply human, bridging the past and future of visual art.
VISSER EN VAN LEEUWEN JOIN the gallery
We are proud to present a new duo to the gallery: Visser en van Leeuwen. In their studio in IJmuiden, where light settles quietly on the floor and stories seem to linger in the air, Visser & van Leeuwen create. Not ordinary designers or artists, but storytellers of space. With their hands, they build worlds where the line between reality and imagination blurs to near invisibility. Everything they make begins with a journey — not always far from home, but always deep within. Their designs are whispered narratives in form and color. They give shape to memories you thought you'd forgotten, and to encounters that never truly happened, yet somehow still linger. Each piece is a stop, a character, a place: Greg, Els, Sara, Zilver, Nouk, Kebri, Olaf, John — names that sound like chapters from a story without a fixed path, but with a heartbeat that draws you in.
Haute Photographie returns to Rotterdam
With great excitement, we are delighted to announce that Haute Photographie will return to Rotterdam. From 25–29 March 2026, we will celebrate our 11th edition at the iconic Keilepand.
Haute Photographie is a boutique art fair with the atmosphere of a museum, entirely devoted to fine art photography. Breaking away from the traditional art fair model of uniform booths, the fair reimagines what such an event can be.
At its heart, Haute Photographie presents photography through three temporal lenses: The Past, The Present and The Future.
Alongside the main exhibition, visitors can enjoy a curated photography book market and a restaurant that invites them to linger, meet, and exchange ideas.
Haute Photographie is designed as a complete experience — appealing to both seasoned collectors and those who are simply curious to explore the world of photography.
The five-day fair opens to the public on Wednesday, 25 March, with an official opening event.
