Dutch visual artist & photographer Sanne Wijdenes (2001), started expressing herself as Hartenjager at the age of 14. When she created an anonymous Instagram account called Hartenjager, which was mostly used for her poetry at the time. The name stems from her constant chase to feel love, Hartenjager translates to heart hunter.

Graduated in 2025 at Crossmedia Design at ArtEZ Enschede, the Netherlands. Here, she found herself connecting with photography as a means to translate her imagination to the world. As a very neurodivergent individual, the struggles that come with this are a returning theme in her work.

Sanne feels a strong need to visualize what the speed of her mind can’t pinpoint in words. The artist works mostly with film and experimental techniques such as the multiple exposures method and filmsouping. She makes a conscious decision to stay playful during the proces of creating. This to keep the element of surprise that makes analog photography so special.
