Portrait Photographer in Brussels, Belgium
Sander shoots editorial and corporate portraits for magazines, newspapers and international media.
Based in Brussels, I love to photograph people with a story to tell — in their working environment, on location or in the studio.
With over 15 years of professional experience, I work directly with editors, agencies, designers and journalists, coordinate portrait appointments and deliver carefully edited images to meet publication deadlines. Available for assignments throughout Belgium and internationally.
Portrait photography that works in the real world
Most people don’t like being photographed. That’s normal.
My job is to create a moment where people feel at ease quickly — so the image feels natural, not forced.
No stiff poses.
No fake smiles.
Just strong portraits that represent you on a good day.

Portraits for magazines, media, and storytelling.

Experienced across different fields
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve photographed:
Politicians and EU professionals

Each shoot requires a different approach — from fast corporate sessions to more personal, slower portrait work.
