Ultima Vez

December 3, 2009 Uncategorized

Yesterday my wife and I went to see Wim Vandekeybus latest work ‘Ultima Vez’ at De Singel in Antwerp.

For me it was the combination of energy, dance and live music that made the [...]

Sharing experience

October 30, 2009 My photography

Had a very nice experience last Thuesday. Iris Claeys, a graduated photographer contacted me a few weeks ago with the request to shoot together. At first I was a little reluctant. What the hell can I share. I only take pictures that express passion, emotion and/or energy. Something I learn while assisting my wife with [...]

Discovery – Jock Sturges

August 1, 2009 Inspiration

I saw an interesting documentary yesterday on Arte, about Jock Sturgus. I didn’t know this photographer. Anyhow, he has an impressive portfolio and a very soft style (that made me think about Mona Kuhn (although she’s younger that Jock Sturges) of which you can find a nice interview on http://www.lensculture.com/kuhn.html.

In the end it’s all about the print.

June 21, 2009 Inspiration

A picture is only a picture when it is on print. At least it is to me. The colour, the tonality, the size, the place and so many other factors convey the emotion the photographer had in mind. Four years ago I had the opportunity to briefly meet Douglas Menuez on the Innova booth at [...]

Yesterday was D-day. After working for months on my ABUSE project I was ready to show it to a sort of independent jury (photographer, responsible of FoMu, Fotografiecircuit Vlaanderen, CvB) at FoMu who organised this portfolio viewing. Every half an hour another photografer showing off his or her work and receiving feedback. A special feeling I can [...]
