Topic – Abandoned or Discarded
Haje Jan Kamps
Haje is a Norwegian multi-disciplinary busybody who likes using words like ‘multi-disciplinary’ (and busybody, for that matter). He has published thousands of articles, written for scores of magazines and websites, has edited sense into more copy than he cares to remember, and has even published a couple of books.
In addition to being a contributing editor in the fields of digital photography, automotive and technology, Haje has contributed articles and/or photos to a large number of other publications, including the Daily Mail, Propaganda, T3, Digital Camera Magazine, MAKE magazine, BBC worldwide, HjemmePC, and many others.
On top of the paid work, Haje has maintained his pride and joy, the popular photography blog Photocritic.org for many years. Stuff he writes which doesn’t get published on Photocritic tends to
end up either on his personal website.
Haje has been involved in a series of book projects; He wrote Macro Photo Workshop (ISBN 978 047011 876 4) for Wiley Publishing, and followed up with ghost-writing two more books for Wiley, which for obvious reasons cannot be named here – contact Haje for more information.
Apart from writing books, Haje contributed several photos to Photos that Inspire (Wiley, 2007, ISBN 978 04 7011 955 6) edited by Lynne Eodice, and Tech-edited HDR Photography Photo Workshop (Wiley, 2009, ISBN 978 04 7041 299 2) by Pete Carr and Robert Correll.
Haje also wrote a great article on “How to win photography competitions”, which is the whole reason I asked him to judge for us, so be sure to check it out.
Artist Statement
I’m just this guy, you know? My job is in publishing, and I’m also in the process of writing a book about photography. Although I don’t take freelance photography assignments anymore, I’m still an avid enthusiast, and I do a lot of photography in my spare time. If you like my writing, there’s loads more over on my personal website – all the non-photography-related stuff goes on there.
