Condolences
On November 19 2021, to our disbelief, our dear Fatih van den Hout suddenly passed away. We were surprised and saddened to hear about Fatih's passing. Fatih was a passionate portrait photographer, teacher and devoted father. He was also part of the jury team of the Unlike Portrait Awards. It’s going to take time to get through the shock of this loss. Wishing his family comfort and strength for the time ahead. We’ll be praying for all of you.
Thank you
