About

Hello,

Is it me you're looking for?

Since 2012 i have been working intensively with photography and the visual language. During my studies I’ve got to know the ins and outs of analog & digital photography and image editing and started to produce non-profit independent as well as commissioned artist work.

Last years I have been simultaneously active as teacher, business photographer and visual designer.
In this time I had the opportunity to work for clients as DPG Media, Studio Dann, jodevisscher, FamousRelations, ZLQ, Willicroft, a.o.

Based in Brussels, I am available for commissioned artist work and professional business photography.
Portraits (single, double or group), studio work, reportages, creative thinking and other work that fits your visual needs.

tnemetatS tsitrA | Artist Statement

We live in a slice of time where editing tools, 3D imagery, AI-generated images, augmented and virtual reality and other visual tools are thoroughly shaking our perceptions and ideas of what we perceive as reality - and what not.

A critical attitude towards images, the process of image making, the presentation and the consumption of images is therefore needed. Either in personal lives as in the professional use of images that underpin our society and collective image. This critical attitude can be seen as a necessity. Not only for the maker and people (s)he/it/ze/they/them works with, but also for the viewer(s).

When working with people for a certain image or series, the negotiation around the aim of the work, the possible effect of the images, their representation and the way they feel about it are of high importance to me. I try to be as open and honest in my communication and objectives. At the same time I hope everybody involved will communicate their personal sensitivities, ideas and standing points towards me.
Through collaboration and consent, a constructive visual work can be made.
