Iām a commercial and editorial photographer/filmmaker who also spends as much time as possible on personal artistic projects.
I aim to capture what makes someone unique in every portrait. In my lifestyle pictures it's all about authentic experiences rather than the fake glamour that is often associated with the genre. My motion work strikes a balance between authentic reportage and cinematic visuals. Although technical mastery is high on my priority list, my style is often a bit rough around the edges, just like life itself.
Teaching photography has been a burning passion for many years. I do lectures, workshops and mentoring all over the world.
I am proud that my work is recognised by Fujifilm, my favourite camera brand. As an official Fujifilm X-photographer, I feel privileged to do campaigns, workshops and speaking engagements for the brand and work with the engineers to keep improving their products. The support of Fujifilm Belgium also means a lot to me.
The KAGE Collective is an international group of visual story tellers. It's an honor, a pleasure and an inspiration to be part of this amazingly talented group.
I'm a forty-nine year old gentle giant who spends most of his spare time being inspired by a beautiful family, a gravel bike, books, music and the outdoors.
