Als fotograaf weet je nooit of, waar en hoe je werk gepubliceerd wordt.

Hier werd een foto van mij valselijk van mijn website gestolen, en gebruikt in een extreem-rechtse Poolse Facebook-post over de Pride-parade in Polen. Gelukkig hebben mensen van Demagog het beeld als Fake betiteld en door FB late...

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.

It was a few months ago when one of the biggest online companies in this world contacted me. They asked me if I'd like to be one of their first 360 photographers in Brussels for their next Google Maps Business Views photography project. As a journalist I did  feel the crisis, so earning some re...
