Portrait
Revealing a person, a couple or a team, in contemporary portrait or period costume.
Another Time
Film photographs built to last.
I shoot portraits and reportage, including memorial work: finding a place from the First or Second World War tied to your family or association, and photographing it today, exclusively on black-and-white film. The same rigor as my personal artistic work, put to work for you.
Three ways to tell a story
Reportage
Telling an event, a day, or a project as it actually unfolded.
Memorial reportage
Finding a place from the First or Second World War tied to your family or association, and photographing it today.
Why film, in a commercial setting?
Film is not a marketing gimmick or a fashionable look here. It is a way of working: it forces me to slow down, to prepare every shot with care, and to deliver images meant to remain legible and present for decades, as prints and negatives — not just files.
This is the same rigor that drives my personal photographic work, but here it is entirely put to the service of your projects, your events and your image.
I shoot every image myself, and I also handle the entire darkroom process: developing the negatives and printing. Discover the darkroom.
Why this site shows no public gallery
Portraits involve real people: their right to their own image means I can never publish a photograph without their explicit consent. Memorial reportages often rely on family photographs and documents entrusted to me in confidence. So I choose not to publish any gallery by default, rather than asking for one-off consent that is rarely renewed.
A portfolio of references can be shown in person, at a first meeting. The full reasoning is explained here.
Where I work
I am based in Belgium and travel across Wallonia, Brussels, the whole of France and French-speaking Switzerland. Some memorial reportages, including in the United States, may require further travel — on request.
