Patrick Jan Van Hove
Born in Canada but currently based in Brussels, Belgium, Patrick Jan Van Hove is a passionate photographer whose work is centered around the celebration of the beauty of the female body. He explores classical academic nudes as well as the world of erotic and fetish imagery. His latest project is the publication on his website of a single image each day, for the whole year. These images will be used to create his first book, which will cover the last five years of his work as a photographer.

Patrick's inspirations include the work of Jeanloup Sieff and Jonvelle, for their beautiful natural nudes; the studio work of Schatz and Weston; and the provocative imagery of Newton, Araki and Kroll. He is also strongly influenced by the work of the 19th century photographers.

He is the founder of Mamut Photo, www.mamutphoto.com, a creative photography website centered around the use of ultra-large format cameras and of alternative photographic processes.

Patrick uses a wide range of equipment and processes in his work, from digital cameras to Polaroid materials and a century-old 11x14" wooden view-camera. But his main tool, which he has been striving to master for years, is light, or more precisely, the play of light on skin. This light has been the main focus of his photographic explorations, both in the studio and out, and he has developed a very personal approach to the nude, not striving to to show perfection, but to celebrate the beauty of women as they are, simply human.
