I'm a freelance photographer working and living in Belgium.
My personal work is an exploration that turns me as creator and observer simultaneously inwards and outwards, to the objective and subjective world of places and the memories that they contain.
The evocative image to me is an expression and experience of both states and I aim to make images and photographs which do not only illuminate the subjects framed but also cast a light or spell on the picture, and the image within the picture, as being the subject itself from which a world of memory radiates and is set free.
I turn to the world of symbols, dreams and hidden meanings as much as to the world of surface, form and clarity. I find inspiration in the equilibrium between those two, between surfaces and symbols, the real and the surreal. Between the natural and the artifact, the universal and the personal.
