fotografías  Practising from the late 1950’s until his death in
1980, Henk Snoek was admired for his “facility of composing the
most complex and intricate subject matter into a picture of
great scale, formal clarity and tonal contrasts”. Combining an
unerring eye for composition with an infinite patience in
waiting to catch the most favourable light, Snoek’s photographs
are characterised by their strong sense of drama, simple yet
forceful lines and employment of high contrast. Working
predominantly in Britain, his wonderfully evocative images of
Basil Spence’s Coventry Cathedral are amongst his most iconic
works. He later became the predominant recorder of the boom
period of British construction in the Middle East in the 1970’s.
