Hi, I’m Jan Willem Hartmann, a Dutch amateur photographer with a passion for capturing the world beyond my lens — looking deeper than what first meets the eye. Together with my wife, Ellen, I love to travel, always seeking out unique places, moments, people, and stories that inspire my travel photography. My images go beyond landscapes and cityscapes; they aim to capture atmosphere, light, and the feeling of being on the road. My work has been published in Columbus Travel Magazine, the Columbus Travel Calendar and Zoom Magazine, a testament, eye for detail and sense of composition. Photography is more than just taking pictures — it’s about storytelling, adventure, capturing moments, details, connecting with the beauty of our planet and authentic stories that connect and inspire.
