I created my own photographic style by fusing two techniques, light painting and night photography, with a strong Flemish painting and german expressionism influence. All the photographs are taken with long exposure (from a few seconds up to a couple of minutes) using a single light source.
I like to use digital cameras for the control it gives me in every step of the process. I consider the camera as a simple light box. There is no « special effect » even when the subject appears more than once on the same photo.
I think that what I do is closer to painting than photography. Perhaps because I never try to capture the reality around me, but only the idea I have of it in order to create my own.
I do commissioned work, but only if it gives me the freedom I expect and the control of the final image.
