Hugo van Wadenoyen (July 18, 1892 in Vlaardingen, Netherlands – March 1, 1959 in Cheltenham) was a British photographer, of Dutch origins.
[1][2] He lived in Cheltenham, England, and was an influential figure in the long drawn-out genesis of British fine art photography, especially between 1945 and 1965.
[3] Van Wadenoyen moved from the Netherlands to Cardiff, Wales in 1900, where his father would start a photographic studio.
Van Wadenoyen's book Wayside Snapshots (Focal Press, 1947) marked a decisive British break with Pictorialism in photography, was a brave early attempt to use the book format as a means of showing a photographer's personal pictures.
Some of the book's fresh approaches to landscape strongly influenced Raymond Moore.
