DYLAN VAN DRUTEN IS A NEW YORK CITY BASED PHOTOGRAPHER
Photography, for me, is about more than just taking pictures. It's about capturing moments that make people pause, reflect, and feel something. I'm a 30-year-old South African photographer based in NYC, specializing in couples, family, engagement, and maternity photography.
I focus on photographing people and places, aiming to keep my edits as natural and timeless as possible. My objective is creating images that stand the test of time: authentic, real, and full of life.
I have a passion for clever design, great coffee, sports, and, of course, border collies. Let's grab a coffee and chat about your project.

CLIENT REVIEWS
"Dylan was phenomenal. We loved every minute of our couples shoot in Central Park — fantastic eye for light and composition, just enough direction to keep things natural, and he delivered our gallery much sooner than expected. The black-and-white edits are especially beautiful. Highly recommend for timeless, candid NYC photos."
KUSH PATEL
"Such a wonderful experience. Dylan came prepared with a shot list, props, and even a Pinterest board for outfit inspiration. On the day, he was incredibly patient with our one-year-old — giving clear direction while letting natural moments unfold. The photos are absolutely beautiful, ones we'll treasure for years."
ALYSSA B
"Dylan has a true gift for capturing people in their most natural, beautiful moments. He scouted locations beforehand, made us feel completely at ease, and turned what could feel like a photoshoot into something effortless and fun. His eye for detail makes every photo feel authentic and full of life."
