Biograhy

Matthew van Netten is a landscape and travel photographer from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. In his practice, he is often drawn to locations that are physically challenging to reach and absent of human presence — both within Canada and abroad. Matthew combines three passions into his art practice: nature, travel and photography. A reoccurring theme in Matthew’s work is contrasting light and lack of reference to scale, leaving the photo open to interpretation. His work often plays with abstraction by limiting visual information, focusing on a simple composition and closely framing his subject.
