Bio

If you've seen it all, close your eyes.

When I was young, I had a keen interest in art and attended the art academy in Aalst, Belgium to learn drawing and painting. However, my creativity took a backseat until my parents gifted me a Nikon F-501 camera as a teenager. I started experimenting with it and developed my style, which has remained unchanged for 35 years but has made significant strides. In 2009, I switched from analogue to digital photography and bought a Nikon D90 camera to experiment with and edit my photos. However, I realized that my knowledge of photography was substandard. To improve my skills, I enrolled in a photography course at COOVI in Brussels, Belgium in 2016. During my training, I learned that a full-frame camera is essential for taking high-quality photos and bought a Nikon D750. I also started working with Photoshop to restore old family photos. But what gives me the most pleasure is taking photos during my travels and discovering new horizons.
