- Tell us a little about your background - what path led you to becoming a photographer, and to doing what you’re doing today?

I’m a self-taught photographer, and I first got into photography around 2012, when I wanted to get more out of my travel images. What started as a personal interest gradually became a deeper journey, first learning the technical side and then slowly developing a visual voice through experimentation. I enjoy trying different systems, both film and digital, and seeing what each can bring to the image. A few years ago, I also started making photography content on YouTube, which has been a great way to keep practicing, stay curious, and it opens the door to unexpected opportunities.

- Can you tell us a bit more about your project Concrete Structures?

The concept is quite simple: I collect images of interesting buildings and constructions where concrete plays a defining role, either as the main material or one of the defining elements. It’s a project rooted in my interest in architecture, materiality, and the visual presence of concrete in the built environment.

- What led you to start your project “Concrete Structures”? And what is your end goal for this project?

A couple of years ago, I bought a second-hand monochrome-only camera, fully embracing the aesthetic of black and white photography, the timelessness of it. Around the same time, I bought a book on Brutalism in Belgium and that got me started looking through my own archive, where I realized I already had a first base of buildings and structures featuring concrete as a central material. From there, the project developed quite naturally. I began actively seeking out new locations and expanding the series, all in black and white. The end goal is to keep building a cohesive body of work that reflects my evolving view of these structures, and maybe do an exposition with it or create a zine. 

- How would you describe your work?

I’d describe my work as contemporary photography that aims to be visually pleasing while still feeling relatable and accessible. I’m drawn to clean composition, visual balance, and aesthetic refinement, but I try to avoid images that feel overly processed or overly polished. I like work that feels honest, considered, and visually strong without losing its character.

- What does photography mean to you?

Photography means a great deal to me because it’s my creative outlet and a counterbalance to my day job building digital, corporate applications. It pushes me to explore places I might otherwise never have visited, and working on personal projects helps me observe the world more carefully and more intentionally.

- Which camera and lenses do you have?

Probably too many, as a result of all the experimentation. My favourite setup is the Leica M10 Monochrom with a vintage 35mm Summicron Type IV. For film, I use a Mamiya 7 with either the 80mm or 65mm lens for medium format, and a Leica Minilux for 35mm film. Through a collaboration, I also had the chance to work with the Hasselblad X2D a few times, and I really enjoy it, especially paired with the 55mm lens.

- Which other photographers, designers, artists or creative people are you loving at the moment?

There are many, but the names that come to mind first are Simone Bossi, Bryan Schutmaat, Léon Spilliaert, Dieter Rams, Kengo Kuma, and Snøhetta. But I love discovering new works, online, magazines or in galleries. The rush of finding new inspiration never gets old.
