David Balhuizen生于荷兰阿姆斯特丹，毕业于海牙皇家艺术学院摄影系。在与荷兰最牛的广告公司合作之后前往伦敦。他最近的成绩是获得了2009年英国摄影协会AOP摄影奖，他的个人作品由此逐渐受到关注。这些作品选自他的“东京”系列，将日本在重新建构它的历史和文化的过程中面临的困境展示在人们面前，因为西方文化对日本人的影响其实已经远远超过了传统文化。David Balhuizen的作品构图严谨，基调呈土色，既有别于以往日本的高科技社会的形象，也不同于日本坚守传统的形象，从而让它的身份特征进一步遗失。
David Balhuizen was born in Amsterdam and received his BA in photography at the Royal College of Art in The Hague. After working with the best in Dutch advertising he decided to move to London. With his recent success in Londons most prestigious AOP-Awards/2009 he has put his latest personal projects to the forefront. These images are from his Tokyo series, addressing the difficult task for Japan of reconstructing itself on its cultural and historical roots whilst Western influences are more deeply felt. Far from the typical images of a high-tech society or a traditional Japan, David Balhuizen’s rigorist framework and earth-toned perspectives exacerbate the loss of an identifying trait.
