Marc van Ingen (Amsterdam, 1953) ​ I grew up with photography. A boy, just 12 years old, I was introduced to the secrets of diaphragm, shutter speed and the darkroom. ​ In 2005, I bought my first digital SLR, a Nikon D70s. Once more, I took up the old love for photography, I completed a course of professional photography at Syntra in Hasselt (Belgium). In 2013 -2018 I studied photo art at the Art Academy in Maasmechelen (Belgium). Currently, my interest is mainly in the area of social/society, street and travel photography.
