About Capta

Meet the Capta Collection. At our gallery space in Ghent, you will find works by over seventy-five masters of photography, ranging from the humanist pioneers of postwar Europe to iconic figures from Latin and North America.

The collection brings together photographs made across different lives and eras, each capturing a specific moment, social context or emotional truth.

 

Capta Collection highlights the power of photography as a form of social documentary. Spanning the twentieth century and the early twenty-first century, the works reflect on society while demonstrating a high level of technical and artistic mastery.

The objective of Capta Collection is clear. It aims to be a place for inspiration and appreciation, as well as a forum where enthusiasts, artists and socially engaged audiences can come together to explore the power of visual language.
