I discovered the possibilities of photography at a relatively late age and followed part-time art education until 2006. My original passion is street photography, but gradually the attention also turned to photographic essays and new documentary and conceptual photography. Photography is a fascinating medium to investigate social and cultural reality and to give it new meanings. I mainly observe the surreal and the mystery of everyday reality.

DIRECTOR former 44 Gallery for Contemporary Photograhy & ORGANISER/CURATOR of photography events
I always followed photography closely and with great attention, to such an extent that the need to show it became increasingly greater. I organised exhibitions and events and built 44 Gallery for 10 years, a gallery and centre that helped put contemporary photography on the map, where he presented work until 2020 by Belgian and international well known photographers with an unconventional, intriguing and uncomfortable oeuvre, which invites us to look attentively and questions our culture, touching the viewer, emotionally and intellectually. The knowledge and experience gained from this also led me to a circuit of coaching and portfolio reviewing for, among others, BIP Liège, KASK Ghent, Bozar Brussels, Breedbeeld and Musée de la Photographie Charleroi.
