August Langhout is a Dutch contemporary visual artist working at the intersection of photography and painting. His practice is rooted in photography, yet moves beyond documentation towards atmosphere, emotion and memory.

Working in long-term series, Langhout explores recurring themes of stillness, transformation and the passage of time. Water, forests, coastlines and flowers become recurring motifs through which he investigates the fragile relationship between reality and remembrance. Rather than capturing places as they appear, his work evokes how they are experienced, remembered and imagined.

Using a painterly visual language, his photographs dissolve the boundaries between observation and emotion. Reflections soften, contours fade and colour becomes a carrier of atmosphere rather than description.

Langhout lives and works in the Netherlands.
