HAUTE PHOTOGRAPHIE PROGRAM

ROTTERDAM TALENT FOCUS

Each year, under our curatorship, Haute Photographie presents a selection of emerging Rotterdam-based talents. This year, five talents are highlighted, selected through visits to graduation shows and, increasingly, through discoveries made via social media channels.

Many of these artists operate under the radar, rarely receiving the platform they deserve. What unites them is a distinctive visual language shaped by personal experience, intuition, and strong authorship. Authenticity and consistency remain central to our selection, as we believe it is essential to recognise, nurture, and give space to the talent that surrounds us.

INDEPENDENT PHOTOGRAPHERS

Powered by the Hungry Eye Group, Haute Photographie is committed to supporting promising and talented artists, with a strong focus on independent photographers following successful editions in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. In this edition, more than 40 independent artists are presented, within a total of 60 exhibiting artists. As a result, the ‘future’ aspect of our motto; past, present, future is more visible than ever.

At Haute, we recognise the many artists striving to break through in the art market. By offering them a platform to present their work, we aim to actively contribute to the development and advancement of their careers.

FOCUS 2026: WILD&EARTH

This year, Haute Photographie places nature at its heart with the special focus ‘Wild & Earth,’ exploring the intricate relationship between animals and their habitats. Seven leading photographers invite the visitor into a world where the raw power and fragile beauty of nature collide.
From majestic wildlife and breathtaking landscapes to striking natural phenomena, the photography on display does more than just capture our surroundings, it highlights the delicate balance of our planet and what is at stake. Through these evocative works, ‘Wild & Earth’ serves as both a celebration of the natural world and a poignant reflection on its conservation.

Haute Photographie is proud to announce its collaboration with IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), the official partner supporting our 2026 focus, ‘Wild & Earth.’
