Coquette, Antwerp, Belgium
October 17, 2019
This photo was taken in Antwerp in a hotel and features a chandelier in front of a mirror admiring its reflection.

Mirror reflections seem to awaken static elements. When observing the chandelier which is standing in front of the mirror, one gets the impression that it is coquette and admiring its beautiful self. It is as if, aside from the emerging and surrounding light, its whole body comes to life to tell us its deep and personal story. The viewer might then want to enter its universe and, just as Lewis Carroll, get a closer look through a looking glass to try to get a glimpse of the other side of the mirror.

Chaises musicales, Tel Aviv, Israel
October 10, 2019
This photo was taken in Tel Aviv in the corridor of a huge hotel which succeeds to put a personal touch in every corner of its building.

The most interesting photographs are, according to me, the ones that try to hide their stories as they allow the viewer and the photographer to give way to their imagination. When quickly looking at this picture, most people will not immediately guess what it represents. It is only when giving it a second or even a third look, that part of the shape of the chairs will appear in front of the eyes. The remaining invisible gracious chairs’ forms will emerge through the viewer’s creative ingenuity.

Cézanne in Versailles, Versailles, France
October 3, 2019
This photo was taken in the gardens of the Château de Versailles and features its trees, and one passage, reminding Cézanne's passages.

This photograph was taken in the breathtaking gardens of Versailles Palace in France. Walking on these mesmerizing grounds is like wandering in a dream as you can lose yourself in its beauty myriad. Although everything was amazingly well organized, this picture seems to cut with Louis XIV’s wishes and perception, give way to our imagination and offer the opportunity to guess where the passageway may lead. The angle from where the photo was taken, seems to organize a little “revolution avant la lettre” by giving way to a tiny bit of chaos in a world of order and authority. Even the sun seems to have disappeared and made way to a cloudy decor.

Hiding trees, Brussels, Belgium
September 26, 2019
This photo was taken in Brussels from the window of a villa and showcases a typical view of Brussels' streets. Houses which stand neatly next to each other which here and there some beautiful shy trees.

Being originally from Belgium there are certain views which will always attract my eye. This photograph is one of them as it showcases calmness and serenity which are so typical for my lovely country of origin. I also fell in love with the Rijtjeshuisjes, the “row houses” which can be found in North European countries and must have been witness to so much historical events throughout the centuries, be it during the Roaring Twenties, the 19th century or the Golden Age. I think it’s the mixture of various architectural streams and their surroundings which create powerful and touching sights.

Raining lights, Jerusalem, Israel
September 19, 2019
This photo was taken in Jerusalem in a hotel which loved mixing modernity and history. And loves playing with light and mirror reflections

I love giving light a major role in my photography as it enables me to use fewer filters and stay close to the original picture. This photograph was shot in a hotel in Jerusalem where it rarely rains, but the game of lights gave the impression I was walking under a sky of raining and falling lights. The illumination of the various chandeliers created a feeling that light was claiming, fighting and conquering its existence while shining bright like the beautiful stars that filled the endless sky.

Forms patchwork, Dubrovnik, Croatia
September 12, 2019
This photo was taken in a new hotel on the seashore of Dubrovnik in Croatia. The whole hotel is a patchwork of different interior design streams.

Staircases have many stories to tell as they lead from one part of a place to another, from one story to another, and from one planet to another. They’re the thin line residing between two worlds. The stream of their passage usually leads to true beauty as its movement draws fascinating forms and curves. On this photograph, one gets to see the surrounding patchwork of the staircase which is often forgotten about but adds an impressive elegance part to the full picture. Indeed, thanks to the cubes, lines, and bends, one seems to enter a universe which transcends the allure and gorgeousness of the stairs.

Carousseling bar, London, United Kingdom
September 5, 2019
This photo was taken in London in a new hotel which emphasizes the beauty of chandeliers and their importance in interior design.

I love when photographs seem to suddenly come to life and tell their story to whoever is having a close look at them. This photo offers different and various explanations. Although being static, one can easily imagine the infinite rounds and rounds the bar is about to make. The turning caroussel vibe is present as is the way people may feel when leaving a bar where they’ve drunk an impressive amount of alcohol.

Optimism, Florence, Italy
August 29, 2019
This photo was taken in Florence while walking around and next the Arno river. I came across these brave kayaking people who were obviously going to face a humongous storm.

Many painters visited Florence to improve the colors and consistency of the drama of the sky in their creations. I understood the reason for this the minute I set foot in the majestic Renaissance city. The colors which appeared in the sky during sunset and sundown were strikingly impressive as there were tints, I had never seen before. Being a big fan of thunders, rain showers and a grey sky, I got the full load as I was running back to the hotel. The intensity and grandiosity of the clouds were such as I had the feeling the city had been created to fit its sky. While looking at the Arno river I realized that people were kayaking, and I could sense the unforgettable memories Florence’s weather was about to offer these optimistic sportswomen and men.

The flying bride, Tuscany, Italy
August 22, 2019
This photo was taken in Tuscany and features a bridal photo shoot in the middle of the Tuscan fields.

Shooting this picture was quite an adventure as it happened while we were driving on the magnificent but curved Tuscany roads. The second I noticed this scene I screamed like in the movies: « stop that car! ». I couldn’t pass through this stunning moment without giving it a chance to leave a print on my camera. It wasn’t so much the bride who caught my eye, but her veil and the surrounding decor of a childhood blue and the perfect sand-colored hills. The sky and earth seemed to have joined forces to offer a perfect and marvelous chance to the veil to express its undeniable refined but fragile grace and elegance.

Forgotten pants, Burano, Italy
August 15, 2019
This photo was taken in Burano in Italy which is a fishermen’s village where every house was painted in a different color so that sailors could recognize their house from afar. The day I visited the village was a very rainy one so I found a shelter in this beautiful passage.

I love shooting daily routine as I find it a pity that people don’t take the time to look at its unexpected beauty. But moreover, I long to give a voice to elements which would otherwise never have been noticed. I love the story it wishes to tell or the story that awakens in my mind while looking at it. To whom do these pants belong? What adventures and events have these pants experienced? Have they witnessed happiness? Sadness? Fear? Passion? All these questions lead to the creation of a tale which may lead to various unknown horizons and unexpected adventures.
