I am a photographer LIVING in FLANDERS, Belgium.
exploring motion and creativity through the lens
I have always held a camera in my hands, as long as I can remember.
My photographic journey has been one of continuous exploration and discovery.
Several decades ago I bought my first 35mm camera which I used mainly for documenting travels and family. As my kids grew older and left home,
I took a Macro Flower photography class. I bought my first DSLR along with a 100mm macro lens. From that day on I was drawn to the incredible diversity in nature, mostly photographing small details.
By using specialty lenses like the Lensbaby lenses and applying textures in Photoshop I developed a painterly style.
Over time, I realised that motion could serve as a powerful design element in my photography. Allowing the camera to move slightly while the shutter remains open can yield beautifully expressive results. “Intentional Camera Movement” (ICM) transforms the act of photography into image creation rather than mere image capture. No two photographs will ever be the same when approached this way.
In addition, I have been exploring in-camera multiple exposure photography in depth. My camera allows me to combine up to nine exposures using various blend modes, offering endless possibilities for creative experimentation. I find great joy in this process — it challenges my imagination and continually opens new artistic directions.
I am now able to shape colour, texture, movement, and form entirely within the camera itself. I use digital layering in Photoshop to create even more depth and complexity.
All these techniques have deepened my sense of creative freedom and profoundly transformed my approach to photography over the years.
My work seeks to express the emotion and energy of a moment rather than its literal appearance.
