FATHER - ENGINEER - PIZZA LOVER - BOOK READER - CHEST HAIR OWNER - TRAVELLER - SPRINGSTEEN FAN - PHOTOGRAPHER
My name is Ben, a self-taught freelance landscape photographer living in Belgium. After trying out different photography genres, including portraiture and art nude, more recently I became excited about landscape and nature photography.
I am rooted in an immense passion for the outdoors, and I am fueled by discovering new places. I have been fortunate enough to visit fantastic places, be part of their nature and witness its wonders. It is such a rewarding experience when you make that one picture that perfectly captures the cold of an early misty morning, the warmth of a sunset or the power of waves lapping the shore. It’s like creating poetry with light.
I combine my photography passion with a professional job as engineer. Both worlds fascinate me. As a result, industrial or architectural elements are regularly included in my landscape photography.
