Taco Hidde studied painting, printing and drawing at the fine (and remote) art academies in the Dutch cities of Kampen and Maastricht. He obtained a Master’s degree in Photographic Studies at Leiden University. During his work as a documentary and portrait photographer he noticed that reading about photography, and all the worldly and otherworldly subjects it touches upon interested him more. Written in Dutch and English his texts are often supported by contextual readings in anthropology, philosophy and history. Taco Hidde also works as a translator (English<->Dutch<-German), text editor, researcher, and artist’s assistant.
