Knokke Off - The Makers (portraits)

Year: 2025

Commissioned By: VRT

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.
