I am a full time professional photographer from Belgium who specialises in creative portraits and compelling visual storytelling. Photography to me has always been a passport to enter new worlds and meet fascinating people. I aim to capture what makes someone unique in every portrait. And in my documentary work, I'm after telling the big story through small stories. Although technical mastery is high on my priority list, my style is often a bit rough around the edges, just like life itself.

 

Ever since I started my professional career some ten years ago, I've been passionate about sharing information and knowledge with others. Workshops, lectures and speaking engagements bring me all over the world to meet inspiring fellow creatives. More information about my work as an instructor can be found on my Workshops Facebook Page.

 

I am proud that my work is recognised by Fujifilm, my favourite camera brand. I was chosen as one of their first official Fujifilm X-photographers. I've had the privilege of doing campaigns, workshops and speaking engagements and my feedback as a working professional is taken very seriously. It often feels like they make cameras and lenses specifically for me. The support of Fujifilm Belgium also means a lot to me.

 

The KAGE Collective is an international group of eight visual story tellers. It's an honour, a pleasure and an inspiration to be part of this amazingly talented group.

 

I'm a forty year old gentle giant who spends most of his spare time being amazed by three beautiful kids, an inspirational girlfriend and the outdoors.
