Frank van Es - Photographer

About Frank van Es

Frank van Es is a photographer based in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands, with a passion for capturing the beauty in ordinary moments and spaces.

"Actually, I do not make photographs, I negotiate. An environment or 'place' has no framing and I negotiate with a place if and how I may frame the place. My arguments are the beauty of the ordinary which can strike, surprise or alienate you."

Expressively emptiness intrigues me and the question whether I try to capture something or that my photograph is a reaction to my surroundings. My work is mostly about what you do not see.

With years of experience in both commercial and artistic photography, Frank brings a unique perspective to each project, finding meaning and beauty in the spaces between objects and moments.
