It's a good question ! For many visitors, my name is unknown. Born in 1945, living in Visé, Belgium, I am a happy retired loving photography since more than 40 years. I am married and father of three great children. My hobbies are Photography, Nature (I am Nature Guide), and wine. I speak French.

I am a photograph with very personal and original approach, whose working-method aims at tranferring in my images the feeling I experienced while shooting. I am above all an atmosphere photograph, and I wish to share them with those and the one that look at my pictures.

My main themes are notably :
- The landscape with its magic and fleeting lights.
- The carnival and his fair ambience.
- The cemetery, witness of civilizations, sometime lulled of poetry
and serenity.
- The city where the walls decorated by sreet artists give life
to an environment often depressing.
- The fairground where the youth bursts itself.
- The graphisme, fine blending between form, colours and lights.

My atmosphere capture results from a subtle mixture between fuzzy zones and perfectly sharp zones. In my landscapes for example, I use the defocalisation technique that allows me to grasp the ambience. In my approach of carnival, I combine additional flashlight with long shutter speed in order to express the atmosphere of the happening.

I particulary like the work of some photographs. You can find more details thereabout at the page "Links".
