Xavier Portela Brussels aerial, architecture and urban photographers

Xavier Portela is a Belgo-Portuguese creative director, self-taught photographer and videographer currently residing in Brussels. He started his career as a web developer after he graduated from Multimedia at IAD (Diffusion Art Institute) in Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium. Frustrated by his daily job as a developer for an international corporation, he dropped it all to work on his own and follow his passion for images.

Since then he is known for his visual onslaught of signs and neon lights series: “Glow” which was first released during summer 2016. Glow is a collection of cities captured at night where the colours try to activate the brain in order to reproduce the variables you don't have in a photo, such as the temperature, noise and motion. Like painters who manipulate their medium in order to be able to depict spontaneity and movement in a static, two-dimensional image. Simply said, "Glow is what you remember instead of what you’ve seen."

Steven Massart Brussels interiors & exteriors photographers

"As an architectural photographer, making projects visually stand out is my speciality. To me, a building is more than a collection of bricks. Each construction is made for living or working, and I enjoy capturing that potential in my photos. 

20 years of experience has given me a sixth sense of architectural photography that goes beyond lighting and shutter speed. I have developed an understanding of the special relationship that architects have with their art by joining them on field trips. While they look at buildings, I observe them. I look at the materials they run their fingertips over and the details that catch their eye. This technique has helped me to see projects through their eyes and has proven to be very effective.  

My work is characterised by a feeling and representation of spaciousness. I try to look beyond the mere visual details and capture the true story of a building and its surrounding space. 

I have a Master QEP certificate from the European Federation of Professional Photographers and have made a name for myself within the building industry.

My portfolio includes a wide array of projects, from Barco's headquarters to small private real estate projects."

Ofir Abe Amsterdam portrait photographers

"Starting my career 20 years ago as a graphic designer in Israel's leading ad agencies, I've come to understand that I had no aspiration to be on just one side of the creative process. 

Self-taught mostly, I combine my passion for music, aesthetics and cinema as well as human interactions, to distil into dramatic, impactful, and conceptual photos. 

Currently based in Amsterdam, I've been making album covers, advertisements, corporate portraits, automotive and documentary photography around the world - in my studio or on locations.

In the end, it's the impactful image that drives my interest and makes my day.  There’s nothing more inspiring for me than to capture people in ways that they don't usually see themselves in. Using creative lighting and a fresh mood, I love sending them for a journey towards another dimension, bringing out some of the most interesting alter egos.

His commercial clients include Adidas, Porsche Travels, Publicis GNS Adv., Adler Chomski Group/ Grey Israel Adv., Orange, and a wide selection of the biggest law and tech firms in Israel."

Glenn Mostert Rotterdam portrait photographers

"Hi there! I am Glenn Mostert from The Netherlands. Last year I became a full-time commercial photographer. But my photographic journey started in 2008 when I was working as an intern at a fashion company. I was a graphic designer until I got in touch with photography (product and model).

I love everything about it and especially working with people. People interest me, everyone has their own story and I want to hear and photograph them! Creating a moment where the person in front of me opens up to me and shows their true personality is the best thing that can happen.

I work in the studio and on location. I use strobes to set the right mood and create something special. During retouching, I try to get the most out of the photographs but keep the authenticity of the person too."
