About

Milan Schellingerhout is a documentary photographer focused on social issues and the impact of current events. His work explores topics such as inclusivity, diversity, and equality, with projects like "Our Colonial Realities", "De Andere Kant", and "Ocean Majesty Ship". Climate change, nature, and mass tourism are also addressed, as in the series "Slippery Slope", where Milan not only highlights the urgency of these issues but also invites reflection and action.

Milan believes in the power of photography to give a voice to individuals and groups who are often unheard. By telling their stories, he aims to promote insight, awareness, and understanding. His work bridges international themes and local issues, as seen in "Leven met Vitesse" and "Mijn huis in het park", where he explores the relationship between people and their environment.

Milan has multiple national and international publications to his name and works on commission for newspapers, Panos Pictures, companies, institutions, and municipalities, as well as private clients. In addition, he remains active in developing his personal projects. In 2025, Milan was nominated for the Zilveren Camera, and in 2021 he received the 2nd prize of the Zilveren Camera Paul Peters Prize.
