Covid Quarantaine? Working from home?

So if you would like outdoor portraits, studio portraits, or even portraits at your office? During the pandemic I can still shoot portraits for B to B assignments, and only if it's really important. We're both risking to get infected. But with a good preparation a portrait can be done safely., from ...

It was just a while ago that I had this assignment for an Italian firm. They organised an event in their shop at Louisa (the high class fashion district) and asked me to run around and do street-photography-style fashion shots of their VIP clients.

Every guest received a portrait that was printed on ...

Risking lifes for a group portrait

Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but this was a fun assignment. Though we had to stand in heavy traffic on Rondpoint Schuman (the very heart of the European Area in Brussels) and the art director had to act as an assistant, holding my flash up straight against the heavy winds. In the end a grea...

This was a nice job, as I may say. The client needed headshots of all coworkers, and maybe a group picture too. After visiting their offices I told them the headshots were no problem, but shooting a large group of 50 people in such a small space with low ceilings could be a problem.

I proposed to sho...

For an assignment from The Wall Street Journal I was asked to photograph a CEO during an interview. This sounds rather simple, but in fact it isn't. CEO's mostly don't have time for photography, and shooting while they are talking and listening with the journalist(s) isn't very spontaneous. I arriv...

This series is now nominated for the Belgian Belfius bank photojournalism award 2013. I won this award 2 years ago. Couldn't submit pictures last year but was in the jury, and now, this year I'm nominated again! That's really great news, especially 1 day before my birthday!-)

No, that just wasn't possible. Ok, at the European Commission I could get a few meters from him. Though it was no more than a talking head, I stayed focused on his gestures, smiles, eyes and expressions for the entire press conference, ending up with a nice series of portraits. Probably just like th...

At the last 'blijde intrede', a tour where the new Belgian Royals King Philippe and queen Mathilde visit all provinces of Belgium, last but not least they visited Brussels. Every now and then I photograph royalty too (it is the best selling subject worldwide, helas) and this time I was there too, on...

As a photographer every now and then I may criticize amateur photographers through Gurushots. It's a paid review and takes quite some time and effort, but it's a really nice way to help others, and to build my ego!-)   This week my review became the Critique of the Week. Don't ask me why....

I just finished my first steps into different kinds of panorama photography. This 'little planet' of the medieval Grote Markt in Brussels was made with a trial version, hence the logos. As photojournalism in printed media is becoming less important I am refocussing myself on new ways to work with th...
