Anton Hazewinkel is a Dutch photographer, living in Beijing since 2005.
He graduated with a BFA in Audio Visual Arts in the Netherlands (AKI Enschede, 1986).
In 2010, after a career of more than 20 years in business, he decided to go back to his roots

photography, he talks with people, interviews them and uses this material to give his audience
a personal view on the lives of individual Chinese.
