Portraits & Professional Headshots

Portraits, for me, exist as an extension of someone's story. They hold gestures, glances and fragments of energy that speak of who a person is, or is becoming. The portraits here range from professional headshots for actors, musicians and corporate clients to personal sittings and individual portrait commissions, made across Belgium on both digital and film. Whether the context is professional or personal, the intention is always the same: to hold a person's present self in a single frame.

Portraits for the VRT

(portraits)

An overview of the portrait work I've made for the VRT over the years. Belgium's public broadcaster brings a constant stream of faces; presenters, journalists, programme makers - and the brief shifts with each one: clean branding portraits for campaigns and on-air use, looser character portraits made to catch something more personal. Gathered here is a selection from across those years and projects.

Jules an Artist

(portrait)

Jules is a friend and a multidisciplinary artist, photographed here in the middle of making something. There is a particular kind of presence that artists have when they are working, an unselfconsciousness that is almost impossible to ask for and very easy to miss. Shot across both digital and analogue mediums, these portraits try to hold that quality: Jules as he actually is, goofy and focused and entirely himself.

Knokke Off - The Makers

(portraits)

Portraits made for Het Jaarbeeld, VRT's annual magazine looking back at the year in pictures. The assignment was to photograph some of the makers behind the second season of Knokke Off, a VRT series. Each was photographed in their own working space: writer Luc Wyns at his desk, sound designer Mounir Hathout in his studio, and director Laura Van Haecke in her study.

La Familia

(portraits)

La Familia is an ongoing portrait project made across different analogue cameras, tracing the faces of my own family. Grandparents from both sides, nephews, cousins, moments caught in kitchens and gardens and living rooms. Shot entirely on film, these portraits carry the particular tenderness of images made close to home, where the photographer is also a part of what is being documented.

Sporza is the sports broadcasting platform of VRT, Belgium's public broadcaster, and one of the most recognised sports media brands in the country. This commissioned series of professional headshots covers both the newer faces joining the Sporza team and the anchors who have been part of the platform since the beginning. Shot to balance individual character with visual consistency across the full team, these portraits were made to work across broadcast, digital and editorial contexts.

Alban a Stranger

(portrait)

Alban and I spent two days together on the coast of Asturias in northern Spain, two strangers who crossed paths and then disappeared from each other's lives entirely. These portraits were made on a cold evening when he decided, without much warning, to go for a nude swim in the Atlantic. He was a unique character. As it happens, I was there to photograph the glassware for Studio Franche when Alban walked into the frame and made the day his own.

Nazook a Stranger

(portrait)

Nazook was a stranger. I found him on the cliffs above the sea during a stormy evening, fishing alone in the fading light. We talked for an hour or two, and somewhere in that conversation I asked if I could take his portrait. He said yes.

Beekeepers Jan & Sandy

(portrait)

A portrait of two beekeepers - Sandy and Jan - in the middle of a field of rapeseed flowers while doing a routine check-up on their bees and honey. The honey originating from the rapeseed flowers is different in texture and taste. Not as clear and liquid as 'normal' honey, this one is more solid and foggy. Even though these flowers are loved by bees, fields such as these are rather scarce and rare to see.
