peak
In a world where storytelling is increasingly at the core of art, I sometimes wonder: does every work of art really need a narrative? Must we always seek out or even create a story to justify the value of a work?
Read More4 of my works from the Peak series will be available among the works from more than 100 inspirational photographers. This year's focus is on creating opportunities and education for the next generation of photographers and conservationists who are focused on the environment with 60% of profits being donated to Jane Goodall inst's Roots and Shoots program and to the Vital Impacts mentorship and grant programs.

What a great time in Miami, I saw and spoke with many beautiful new and interesting artists, photographers and performers. Also for my other company 1605 Publishers I met a lot of wonderful new people and it was very nice to have my work represented by Jackson Fine art.
Thank you so much and I am already looking forward to next year!
My Swiss gallery BILDHALLE is showing my “Peak” project as an online exhibition.
“It gives us great pleasure to present “Peak”, Bastiaan Woudt’s latest series. The NZZ magazine devoted an eight-page portfolio to the artist last Sunday, writing as follows: “Nepal, home of the highest mountains, is known for its mythic cold. A photographer from the flat Netherlands is impressed. For nearly a month, Bastiaan Woudt, considered one of the most talented contemporary photographers by one of the world’s most renowned photography magazines, travelled to Nepal in the Himalayas. In the area around Annapurna, he climbed to nearly 6000 metres. The resulting photographs, now published in book form, picture not only the cold beauty of this mystical land of snow but also the culture brought forth by exceptional climatic conditions.”
Take a peak: the mountains and mysticism of Nepal – in pictures
Despite no real climbing experience, photographer Bastiaan Woudt went in search of the Himalayas’ highest peaks … and himself

Read MoreThis month "Peak" was featured in the prestigious National Geographic. Having my first landscape focussed project in this magazine means a lot to me.
Read the lovely interview I did with Metal magazine by clicking “Read more”.
While many artists and photographers can be found within the static studio space, Bastiaan Woudt finds himself at the other end of the spectrum – in the mountains. His newest series (and photo book), Peak, allows its audience an epic journey through the highest points of Nepal and can be viewed at his solo show, held by Kahmann gallery in Amsterdam, until November 30th.
Read MoreReally excited to show you one of the biggest adventures of my career so far. October 2019 I went on this crazy adventure together with my brother to shoot a project in Nepal. For 26 days we hiked through the mountains around Mount Annapurna. What is considered one of the most busy trails of Nepal was something different for us. We took the unbeaten path, away from all tourists and other adventurers. We took the path known to the guides as "the Annapurna hardway". Many days without meeting anyone, except sometimes some local mountain people. It resulted in a project, a book and a show. Voiceover is my own, with text from the preface I wrote for this book.
I have been interviewed about my Peak project for the Harper’s Bazaar Oktober Issue see below the interview.
