Who is Wesley?

I'm Wesley Verhoeve, a photographer and curator based in Amsterdam and NYC.

My work has appeared in National Geographic, the Washington Post, Wired, and other great publications. I also photograph advertising campaigns for companies including LinkedIn, Headspace, Squarespace, Hanes, etc.

My curatorial portfolio includes 100 exhibits at the International Center of Photography (ICP) featuring work by over 300 photographers from more than 50 countries.

Every Sunday I publish Process, a weekly newsletter about photography and finding your voice inspired by my own experience as a professional photographer.

Subscribe to Process now and join 7,500+ photographers in 114+ countries ranging from hobbyists to working photographers and even some legends.

Why Subscribe?

Every Sunday, I release Process, a weekly newsletter about photography and finding your artistic voice based on my experience as a professional photographer and curator.

In the newsletter, I provide an inside look at what happens during client shoots, creating a photo book, building a portfolio, or pitching a project. I also delve into my archive and share ever-before-seen work including the lessons learned from each one.

I also explore the more philosophical aspects of photography, addressing questions such as "Who are you taking pictures for?"

Photography is an exciting field with endless possibilities to learn and grow. However, the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming and frustrating. Process is here to motivate and encourage you to achieve your goals, so you can confidently convey the stories that matter to you.

Each issue includes a Subscribers-Only Giveaway with prizes ranging from cameras to film, photo books, accessories, and much more.

Here are some nice tweets about Process from the community:

Two years ago I started Process, my newsletter about photography and finding your voice. It’s become my favorite way to share work and lessons learned. Issue 1 was about a special day when I visited and photographed Bruce Davidson in his home & darkroom. https://t.co/qaZOnlTq8X
