Interview: Hans Neleman
Resource, June 25th, 2009
Hans Neleman has been a rather fortunate man. The Dutch-born photographer earned his first award, the Kodak’s Young Photographer of the Year, in 1982 while he was still in college. Since then, more awards have come his way, with a staggering 80-plus awards, titles, and honors from the USA alone—including being named a Hasselblad Master photographer (he now shoots primarily with a digital Hasselblad).
It would be enough to give him a rather well deserved, giant-sized ego. Yet, like much of the work he has done in the past, Neleman prefers defying convention. So what does the photographer who’s done it all decide to do for his next move? Why, help all the other photographers in the world who may not have been as fortunate as he was, of course.
