BIO

PLEASED TO MEET

I am dyslexic photographer and so I like to tell my stories through pictures.Sometimes I spell words the right way, and sometimes I don’t, but I’ve stopped correcting the text now, the mistakes stay in.I’m a multidisciplinary person and photography is my language of choice. So guess I’m a photographer with extra’s. Belgium/Antwerp is where I live.I draw my inspiration from the world around me, it being on land or water, the forest or the city.The power behind an image i believe comes from the delicate play between light, space, and emotion.The chase and hunt to capture that moment where everything lines up, that’s what I love. To go out there and find that awesome weird vantage point for that circumstance in that moment.I don’t want my pictures to be perfect, I want them raw and pure with all its imperfections.I prefer black & white over grayscale, I want it fresh and crisp … crusty or whimsy.When not looking through the viewfinder I like to draw, print (letterpress) or do some woodworking. And when that’s done I probably will take some pictures of it. So when I’m done not looking trough my viewfinder … i end up looking at what I’ve made trough my viewfinder.Apart from photography I have many interests… printing, drawing, graphic design, paper, crafts, woodworking.I am self taught for all of this, though I am not an expert at any of this.But I’ve learned that putting aside my fear of failure to be the biggest lesson of all.

A LITTLE BIT OF RANDOM

I'm a nature loving petrolhead

I love animals … we have 2 cats and 4 dogs

I’m hated/loved for my “tell it like it is” attitude, probably that's why cats and I get along so well

I would like to have a goat, a donkey and a horse,I’m a voracious graphic book collector, but rarely get around to reading all of them.

I take the stairs two-at-a-time, used to be three !!

I love walking in the woods, strolling through the city, blading with friends

I love rowing on the lakes or chase cars on track

I love making new friends

I try to be kind to nature and keep it clean

...

Well that's it for now, have to keep my promise not to use a thousand words and just let the pictures do the talking

All the best and i love to meet you !

Wim
