Minimalist photography for businesses, organizations and private events
This is what I do
Getting a message across clearly? Choose powerful photography that is limited to the bare essentials. Photos without frills! By choosing minimalist photography, you show what you stand for.
This is my offer:
- Taking portraits of people: powerful, minimalist portraits in a simple setting.
- Reportages of events: a photo series of your event according to the principle of less is more, this way the actions come out better.

This is how I work
- On location: in your company or organization, at your home or elsewhere. I don’t have my own studio.
- As much as possible with beautiful daylight, that’s my specialty. Preferably a special light in the early morning or late afternoon or evening, as the light is softer then.
- With as little equipment as possible: my photography tools are limited to the bare essentials, think cameras, lenses, a flash and possibly a tripod. That too is minimalism: I don’t have a mobile studio.
- Digital and not print: I provide digital images and do not print them. I can recommend print labs that I have had good experiences with.
Why do I proceed this way? Working with constraints boosts my creativity.
This is what our trajectory looks like
Would you like to work with me as a photographer? Then assume a course of at least a week. Next steps we go through together:
- First meeting: we agree on what we need for the photo shoot. We record these agreements on mail.
- Photo shoot: we do the photo shoot at a location of your choice.
- First selection of images: I make a global selection of images from which you can choose your favorite images. This global selection is on an online page that only you and I can access.
- Delivery images: I do the final edit of your favorite images and deliver them to you digitally.

Sustainability
As a photographer, I think sustainability is very important. You see that reflected in this way:
- Travel by bicycle: within the Brussels Capital Region and the Vlaamse Rand I travel by bicycle, outside by public transport. I don’t drive the car.
- Photos with fewer bytes and bits: minimalist images often contain less digital information, which in many cases reduces the weight of these files. Do you post minimalist photos on a website? After optimization for online use, these can be featherweight. Thus, they require less energy for the server on which they reside!
- Second-hand equipment: if possible, I prefer second-hand equipment. With these, you can take just as good pictures as with brand new equipment. This is how cameras and lenses get a second life with me.
Do you also opt for minimalist photography? If so, please contact me without obligation.
