Tomas van Houtryve is a Belgian documentary photographer and is a member of VII Photo Agency.

Life and career

Van Houtryve attended a university in Nepal and after he graduated from college in 1999, he settled in Kandahar, where he met and photographed inmates and their relatives. Initially, he wanted to be a philosopher but decided to become a photographer. In 2003 he quit working for Associated Press and concentrated on the Maoist rebellion in Nepal. Photographs of the Maoists brought him the Bayeux-Calvados Award for war correspondents and Ville de Perpignan Rémi Ochlik Award (presented at Visa pour l'image).

In 2010 Van Houtryve, then with Panos Pictures, won two awards from Pictures of the Year International: "Issue Reporting Picture Story - Freelance/Agency" (third place) for the series Moldova: The Outsiders, and "Photographer of the Year - Freelance/Agency" (first place). He had exhibitions in Paris, New York City, Italy and Spain. He also published photographs in Time, The New York Times, Newsweek, Le Figaro, Le Monde, The Independent, GEO, Smithsonian, Stern, Foreign Policy and National Geographic. In 2012 he published a book titled Behind the Curtains of 21st Century Communism which included his photographs of seven communist nations of the 21st century. In 2013 he published an article with his photographs for National Geographic about mining in Peru. In March 2014 one of his photographs was featured in an IndyStar article.

After seven years photographing life in the remaining communist nations, Van Houtryve's interest turned to the US military's use of surveillance drones. Thanks to a Getty Editorial Grant of $10,000, he has been able to use his own drone in the US to explore the implications of surveillance techniques used by the US both outside and within its borders.

Van Houtryve won the 2nd prize in the Contemporary Issues Stories category of the World Press Photo 2015 contest.
