Theo Derksen is a Dutch photographer who has received several awards including the Kodak Award, a Polaroid sponsorship, Weert Body_Art project. The Amsterdam Art Foundation Grant and The Limburg Art Grant. After studying Photography and Audio Visual Design he worked as a trainee with Magnum photo-grapher Ernst Haas before becoming a photojournalist for several Dutch newspapers and magazines. In 1990 he became an associate professor in photography and research at the University Zuyd Art Department in Maastricht, later on head of Visual Communications and member of the management staff Media Design and Technology.
