FAP Calendar Project
Filles à Papa must be one of my favourite upcoming Belgian brands. Most of that is due to its strong visual identity: rock’n’roll glam for sensual and strong young women. Founders Carol ans Sarah Piron have now taken that concept to the next level: a nude calendar, with shots by their house photographer Grégory Derkenne. ...

The Belgian Pride
I went to the Belgian LGBTQI Pride for the very first time and I have to say: it is an impressive event. Although lots of people, including me, were there because of the growing cases of homophobe violence, you could see everybody especially wanted to celebrate tolerance, freedom and solidarity. I brought both my digital ...

Color
So last summer I wrote a post about my Yashica-Mat with a black & white film. Now I tried a color film. Personally I prefer the black & white ones but the color has a nice vintage feel. Esther‘s daughter always loves to pose, just like her mom she’s a natural. I really like ...

Barcelona: a night experience
Barcelona, one of my favourite cities by far. My good friend Magali is doing an exchange programme over there, so it was the perfect occasion to step on a plane with direction ‘BCN’. It was my third time in the capital of Catalonia, but only the first time as an adult. Conclusion: no Gaudí for ...

Shutter View: capturing 15″
It was such a long time ago since I’ve experimented with speed. Shutter speed, that is. I think working with a long shutter time is making you really conscious of the fact that “photography” literally means “writing with light”. So I decided to ‘light-write’ a bit before and after I went to bed. The shutter ...
