Nick Hannes (1974) is a Belgian photographer. He obtained a master’s degree in photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK) in Ghent in 1997. After 8 years of working as a photojournalist, he decided to fully concentrate on self-initiated documentary projects, in which he tackles contemporary socio-political subjects with visual metaphorics and subtle humour.
Nick published 4 books: ‘Red Journey’ (Lannoo 2009) deals with the transitional phase in post-Soviet society. ‘Mediterranean. ‘The Continuity of Man’ (Hannibal 2014) focuses on various contemporary issues such as mass-tourism, urbanization, migration and crisis in the Mediterranean region. ‘Garden of Delight’ (André Frère Editions, 2018) showcases Dubai as the ultimate playground of globalization and capitalism, and raises questions about authenticity and sustainability. His latest book ‘An Unexpected Lesson in Joy’ (2020) is a visual diary of his family life during the Covid-19 pandemic.
‘Garden of Delight’ was awarded the Lensculture / Magnum Photography Award (2017) and the Zeiss Photography Award (2018).
Nick exhibited at FotoMuseum Antwerp, Fotofestiwal Lodz, Organ Vida Zagreb, Photolux Lucca, Stadtische Galerie Iserlohn, Centro Andaluz de la Fotografia Almeria, Triennial of Photography Hamburg, Photomed (Beirut), Lianzhou Foto Festival among others.
Since 2008 he teaches documentary photography at KASK/The School of Arts in Ghent.
