Jan Dibbets is a Conceptual artist that I know for two series of works, namely the perspective corrections and the time-based photographs. He probably has a series dealing with light and shadow as well, which is usually dealt with using photography, but occasionally not.
Perspective corrections:

In his "perspective corrections", Dibbets alters an environment such that when viewed through a camera, viewers experience a change in perspective.
In his time-based photography, Dibbets would photograph the shadows from a window or the lighting of a window at different time intervals.
His interests in these two series of works clearly lie in perception, as well as time and space.
Apparently, he seems to be pretty serious about photography as a medium, but in a Conceptual rather than conventional way.
If you ask me, I think his concepts and how he expresses them are quite good. He is one of the few Conceptual artists that I don't really mind.
