Eddo Hartmann is a Dutch photographer known for his powerful and meticulously composed images of architecture, landscape, and the traces of human presence. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, he spent the early part of his career working in commercial and editorial photography before moving toward long-term documentary projects that examine the complex relationship between people and their environments.
Over the past 25 years, Hartmann’s work has been presented widely, with exhibitions in major cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Istanbul, Moscow, São Paulo, and Beijing. His photographs appeared in international publications and are represented in both private and public collections. In 2024, he was honored with the Sony World Award.
Alongside his practice, Hartmann teaches visual grammar at the BA and MA levels, sharing his approach to image-making with emerging artists. Based in Amsterdam, he continues to develop new series, publish monographs, and share his documentary photography with audiences around the world.
