The thrill of printed photographs matter for me
There’s an undeniable thrill that comes with seeing your work published in print, transforming those digital pixels into something tangible and lasting. The crisp smell of freshly printed pages, the weight of the paper in your hands, and the vibrant colours dancing across the spread create a sense of accomplishment that's simply electrifying.
Whenmy work is finally showcased in print, it feels like a celebration of creativity, a fleeting moment made permanent. Whether it’s a magazine feature or a corporate brochure, holding your work in physical form reinforces the joy of capturing life through the lens, reminding you of the power that photography holds in connecting people to narratives that matter.
the funny thing is that this inspired me to start a new study. The last ten years I studied graphic arts at the art academy in Brussels. Now I can print whatever I want as an etching or lithograph, on any material. It helped me develop a totally different visual direction in my art and in my photography.
Photo works on your wall
If you also like photos on paper, you could have a look at my artistic work. Some street photography works end up as prints, and any other image can always be ordered online as a print, even a framed print.
