About
I am an independent photographer based between Brussels and Paris. My work navigates the intersection of fashion and documentary photography, blending constructed aesthetics with a sensitive gaze on reality.
Trained in graphic design and photography at ERG (Brussels) and UAL (London), I began my career as a freelance creative across the cultural, artistic, design, architecture, and fashion sectors. This multidisciplinary experience shaped my visual language and sharpened my sense of composition, light, and detail.
Staging plays a central role in my approach, a narrative tool that allows fiction and documentary to coexist. I enjoy creating composed images that remain open to the realities they reflect and question.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with studios, brands, and publications such as Prada, Maison Kébé, Gringo_custom, L’Officiel Belgium, Valentine Witmeur Lab, Skinseries, Méson, Prose Studio, and Klone. These projects are a space for visual experimentation, both in studio and on location, where I develop editorial series and campaigns in close dialogue with creative teams. I see fashion as both a visual language and a medium for identity storytelling.
In parallel, I develop personal, documentary-driven projects rooted in socially and humanly engaged themes. These works deepen my reflection on narrative and often take a more introspective form, using photography as a means to question the world.
I’m also interested in how photography is experienced, its physicality, its place in exhibition spaces, and its relationship to books and printed formats. My work has been shown and published in various contexts, including group exhibitions and print editions.
