Three of my photos to be featured in the 2025 Lens op de Mens – Fotofestival Pelt.

The international Lens op de Mens photo festival is one of the industry’s most prestigious open-air photography exhibitions. The organisers expect more than 30,000 people to visit the fifth edition of the biennial festival in Pelt, which is located just north of the province of Limburg, close to the Netherlands.

The non-profit organisation Lens op de Mens – Fotofestival Pelt, in collaboration with the municipal council of Pelt and CC Palethe, will organise an open-air exhibition between Sunday 8 June and Sunday 28 September 2025. More than 1000 photos will line the streets of Pelt on a route of more than 3km which will include exhibitions in the church, CC Palethe and at the Campus of WICO.

The main theme of the festival focuses on ‘humanity’ in the broadest sense of the word, with a sub-theme for 2025 of ‘human vulnerability’.

The exhibition offers a stage to both professional and passionate amateur photographers from around the world, in addition to the numerous guest exhibitions by well renown international photographers.
