Photography is my passion
Independently of the genre, I try to capture interesting light constellations and strive for simple if not minimalist compositions, focusing on the essentials with a sensitive eye for situations and people. My portfolio ranges from super-macro flower photos giving the impression of looking into a volcano to minimalistic seascapes and street photos. Since I restarted photography in 2024 my photos have been exhibited in different places in Belgium (and soon in Italy) and won various prizes. I am member of two international photoclubs: Viewfinders (elected Committee member) and Photeurope.
