Herman van den Boom (born 1950) is a Belgian photographer, artist, and designer.
His photographs are both black and white and colour images with nature, cityscapes and human figures as a main subject.
The resulting product evokes the poetry of the real world, in search of striking vantage points and light effects.
"Herman van den Boom's ability to notice details that he then plays against the broader backgrounds of society and culture turn his work into esthetical, intriguing studies in human landscape that should be approached as metaphors questioning the way we are and live as human beings.".
In 2010 he also received Honorable Mention by Curator Roxana Marcocci of the Museum of Modern Art New York for his work at the SantaFe Photofestival.
