During a period of 4 months, I got to shoot a video and photographs of a massive project by Van Eycken. They are a giant in metal construction and invited me to capture the entire construction project of a passerelle bridge, to be placed at the train station in Fleurus.
Alongside many hours of video footage, I shot these pictures at the factory where a team of craftsmen were working together to lay out the pieces of the puzzle, using their grinders, welders, saws and CNC mills.
The dark environment getting lit up by sparks and beams of light, the smoke and embers entering the atmosphere around the worker’s heads,… This was an ideal situation for a photographer obsessed by the contrast between light and dark!
Hasselt, BE. 2021-2022. First try at food photography. Bontà is situated next to the place I work. Owner Maurice Vroonen and Chef Lijo Schreurs gave me the opportunity to capture their gorgeous food creations. Chef Lijo always knows how to work magic with colors as well as flavours.
In the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, in a green setting, I got invited to a resort called Green Fields! The setting includes a restaurant, a bar, a swimming pool and activities with a lounge atmosphere throughout the day, as well as a glamping area. It got organised during the time when Covid-19 prohibited the organisation of Tomorrowland and other festivals by the organisation behind TML, Dreamville.
Costumes were designed and created by Soul15, who are the best in the game when it comes to making fantastic outfits for entertainers to wear at events, festivals and private gatherings.
Durbuy, BE. Sept-Nov 2020. The newly renovated Sanglier de Ardennes Hotel provided me with the opportunity to capture the grand opening of their new wing.
