Joris van den Einden (b. 2000) is a Dutch photographer, filmmaker, and researcher, based in The Hague. His work focuses on an intuitive, yet reflective and critical practice of making-visible; what does it really mean to ‘capture’ an image? What does a photograph reveal, and what does it conceal? Alongside this, his work tends to engage in the rethinking of humankind’s relations to the natural world.

At the moment, he is diving back into portraiture and fashion photography,

In film, Joris translates everyday affective experiences and confrontations into carefully written, shot and edited moving images. His video works are reminiscent of practices of diary-writing and meditation, and often appear photographic in composition and dynamism.
