Bookbirth A what? Yeah. Bookbirth. Made it up. But when Marthe from Contentatelier asked me to document the moments when a new book was being made at the printing house, this was the word that came up. It’s a birth. And yes, like a birth, it comes with wonder and emotion. Which book, you wonder? This one. “Magnetisch leiderschap” by Anne van Caeneghem. Cheers and congrats to Anne (left) and Marthe (right) for bringing this book into the world!
Octobersong retreat Together with Anje Claes (printmaker) and Rachael Tyrell (painter), I am part of a small art collective named Octobersong. The three of us have spent many hours together. Talking and thinking out loud, co-creating, walking, eating lunches. Most of the time we do at at the Abdij Keizersberg in Leuven, where we all rent an atelier. But in September 2024, we spent some hours and one night at a wonderful location in the north of France. Lalobbe. This […]
Monotype printing workshop In September 2024, the art collective Octobersong, of which I am part of, held a workshop at the Abdij Keizersberg in Leuven. To prepare for this workshop, Anje Claes, the printmaker of our artist trio, showed Rachael Tyrell (painter) and myself (currently writing this post) how monotype printing works. Here you can see her going through the steps. It’s always impressive (literally speaking) to witness someone practice their art.
Fashion revolution There are lots of things that need to change when it comes to fashion. Talking slow instead of fast, thinking ethical and sustainable. Thinking less is more. This photoshoot was a small contribution to create change. Creating images for Fashion Revolution Belgium. Together with Shanturu and Tena, the two wonderful models, we went on a photoshoot in Brussels, using clothing of different fashion designers.
Corequest There was a path. But it wasn’t like every step was clear, was planned, was defined. The goal was, though. And that was to (visually) tell Liesbet Peeters’ story. So we set out on a walk round the lake. April this year. The weather shifted. Our conversation shifted. The view shifted. All captured by images. And while allowing this journey to unfold, keeping her mission close: She takes people onto a journey, a quest, too. By now, we already […]
Canapé. Just love the look, the vibe, the atmosphere, the lights…. So no wonder I was enthusiastic when I was asked to create images for the restaurant.
Lieke is a wonderful, interesting, intelligent, warm, funny, inspiring person. I was very lucky when she got in touch to ask me for website images. That was the start of a wonderful collaboration and friendship…
The Art of Making. A project with a heart for makers and their craft. This is the first photo story of the project. I followed Tristan to his workshop in Mechelen. And there the magic happened…
