CARS, TRANSPORTATION AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY & MOTION Jun 2022

"Two Belgian explorers refer to me and my dog Jack. Jack is not just an ordinary dog to me. Because of the many walks we take together, he is also the reason why I started with photography.

It started locally, but our walking area expanded constantly. After a while we visited more and more nature reserves.

You don’t always have to go far away, sometimes there are wonderful spots closer than you think.

Jack and I explore these places as much as possible. Meanwhile we travel regularly in Europe by car.

My experience has already led to several collaborations. For example, I collaborated with Mitsubishi, Mazda and Ssangyong in the past two years. Capturing their cars in the most stunning environments is what I do best - and will continue doing it, because I love it so much."
