Wesley Verhoeve is a photographer, curator and writer based in Amsterdam, where he moved after twenty years in New York. Before photography he worked in music for more than ten years. His first photography project, One of Many, portrayed about 600 creative people in twelve American cities outside New York and Los Angeles between 2013 and 2015. His work has appeared in The New York Times, National Geographic Traveller, Wired and de Volkskrant. As founding curator of the Projected series at the International Center of Photography in New York, he organised 96 exhibitions featuring more than 300 photographers from 53 countries. He is the author of Notice (2021), Notice Journal, Volume One (2024) and Notice Journal, Volume Two (2026). He also writes Process, a weekly newsletter about photography and creative work.
Notice Journal, Volume Two (2026) comes from two weeks in the summer of 2025 that he spent in Ukraine with the extended family of his partner, Ukrainian chef Anastasiia Klymenko. He chose not to photograph the war itself. Instead he made pictures of cooking, gardens and meals around the table with a half-frame camera. The 64-page book holds 71 photographic pairs, an essay by Ukrainian photographer and writer Julia Kochetova, and recipes by Alison Roman and Klymenko.
