Enjoy the beauty behind the design of a classic car from a different perspective than the average.
"The details are not the details. They make the design" a quote from the famous Charles Eames.
But sometimes we overlook the details. I tried to draw them, the interplay of lines that the designer had in mind back to the eye. My subject/my muse is an Iconic classic car, recognizable by experts/lovers ;-)

I studied Photography and Advertising at St. Lucas in Ghent, Belgium.

Since 2003, I’ve worked with several international stock agencies, including Getty Images, Imagesource, and Photoalto. I’ve been a self-employed photographer and graphic designer since 2012.

For many years, my specialty was children's photography. I developed my own distinctive style, heavily inspired by the 1970s, with an emphasis on carefully crafted, nostalgic settings. I prefer to work with natural daylight, often in self-designed studios like a camper van, a caravan, or a garden house. To enhance the vintage feel, I use clothing from the 60s and 70s, pieces I’ve been collecting since childhood. This creates an environment where children can play and explore freely while I capture their moments. You can see examples of this style at www.mien.be under ‘de klikmobiel’.

After 10 years, it was time for something new.
Lately, I’ve been doing more commercial photography, which varies from studio shoots to interior photography, often with a conceptual approach where I handle the art direction as well.
