As son of a photographer my father always took me with him on his wedding shoots. There I was, a 12 year old holding my first camera and innocently taking snapshots of a happy couple. Some years later I discovered a box with editions of the French ‘Photo’ magazine in our attic. A mmmh experience for a teenager with his hormones running wild. But although ‘Photo’ is still on my reading list, I’m not into portraits.

With a Master in Product design and a postgraduate in Multimedia and Virtual Reality I kicked-off a ‘career’ in digital communication and advertising working for Agency.com, Saatchi & Saatchi Brussels and Boondoggle.

During 14 years I kept a focus on my agency work, keeping my semi-professional photography activities for my spare-time. But at the age of 38 I decided to limit my time in communication agencies and moved into a career as freelance photographer.
