Hi there!
I’m a passionate photographer from Belgium that takes great pride in capturing the true spirit & personality of the people that I photograph.
After the birth of my daughter in 2007 I discovered my passion for photography.
Passion is something that only comes from within and it’s one of the most important things that I bring to every photoshoot. In my spare time I love to travel, meet new people and listening to soulful deephouse music.
Outdoor Fashionshoots
Capturing the soul and personality of the model with edgy fashion and a nice location makes a sparkling portrait.
The mood of the scene is important, the model doesn’t need to look directly in the camera.
I never work with professional models cause I love to launch fresh new faces, I encourage starting models to give it a try!
Maybe you simply want to have nice beauty portraits for your Instagram/FB. Or if you are interested in modelling/fashion/tv work etc I can help you making a model portfolio.
You do not need to travel to a studio to be placed against a boring wall to be charged a fortune for a handful of photos.
Modelshoots are on TFP base (=for free) to expand the portfolio of the model, makeup artist and photographer. My personal goal is to improve my last shoot.
Together with We Love Misses (the biggest Miss organisation in Belgium), we promote starting models on Instagram/FB completely for free.
Yearly I do shoots for the best miss elections and fashionshows like Miss Exclusive, Miss Fashion, … (see my photo galleries)
I work closely with each starting model to discuss the theme, clothes, hair, makeup, styling to prevent any nervousness.
The model chooses her favorite clothes, I have some poses prepared and the magic begins.
I’m picky and I avoid mainstream photography to keep my creative freedom, I love teamwork with new creative people.
Delivering premium photos, creativity & fun are my keywords. This will make you forget about selfies and mobile phone snapshots.
Right now I’m expanding my portfolio with free portraitwork, i’m not sure if I will ever start as a pro (what this word may mean, if you see the work of some called “professionals”).
The past : Urbex Photography
I started with Urban Exploration, exploring hidden abandoned castles, theatres, villas, schools, prisons, fabrics, swimmingpools, planes, car graveyards,… across Europe.
This artistic type of photography was the best hobby in my life, it’s adventurous, teamwork, storytelling and exciting. Each trip is a surprise, we travel into real time capsules.
Abandoned places expose a dark, dramatic atmosphere with a certain mood of sadness and isolation.
The emptiness and silence never fail to generate haunting visions from the past.
Seeing the images makes the viewer wonder what once was and what happened.
Abandoned locations are taken over by nature which claims back it’s place and represent a forgotten era in our fast moving society.
Most buildings were an expression of utopia in their time and are clever pieces of architecture. Now, they are decayed and forgotten, past meets future…
After 7 years of urban exploring I did a few expositions at Buren bij Kunstenaars, De Familie Jansen Koffiebar etc.
Don’t hesitate to contact me to create a nice outdoor fashionshoot!
