Henk van Rensebergen

Rensbergen is a Belgian pilot, who also takes photographs of abandoned places. His work varies - I dislike the stereotypical urbex images with HDR and overly dramatic skies, but love his peaceful monochrome images.





Do you think of yourself as a photographer who explores or as an explorer who takes pictures?

"I'm an explorer who takes photos"

An interesting distinction - I would classify myself as the former, in contrast with Rensbergen.

What is your dream location?

"Any location that is untouched so it can tell a story"

A location can only tell a story if it has been touched at some point - otherwise, there is no human story to tell. Rensburgen means that no-one else has altered the building since its demise, yet how can he ever be sure that what he is seeing is the historical 'truth'? Every interaction within the building merely adds to the story.
