A Canvas of Creativity

Exploit holistic niches

This personalized birthday illustration is a unique blend of fandom and friendship. Featuring a well-known anime character alongside a Hello Kitty-inspired version of my friend, it merges dark, gothic aesthetics with playful charm. I wanted to create something personal, capturing both her favorite character and her personality in a unique way. The contrast between Alucard and cute makes this piece stand out. This piece is a great example of how I bring characters to life in a way that’s personal, creative, and full of storytelling.

A Golden Transformation

A body in transition, a sculpture in motion—this piece captures the delicate balance between solidity and fluidity. The golden figure seems to melt, as if caught between states of being, embodying both strength and surrender. It’s a reflection of transformation, the way identity and form shift over time, never fixed, always evolving.

A Tribute to My Grandmother

This custom funeral card is a heartfelt tribute to my grandmother, designed with a personal and meaningful touch. Instead of a conventional portrait, I chose a nostalgic childhood photo of her surrounded by dogs. A cherished image that everyone who visited her home would recognize. This design reflects her personality and the warmth she brought into our lives.

With a minimalist yet timeless aesthetic, the card balances sentimentality and elegance, making it a fitting farewell. The carefully selected typography and muted tones ensure a refined and respectful presentation.

More than just coffee

A cup hits the counter. Not too hard, but just enough to mean something. Hands move with quiet purpose. Is it a date? A deal? A daily ritual with a side of secrets?

Steam curls, light shifts, time slows. This isn’t a commercial. It’s a moment. Crafted in edits, stitched with silence, and seasoned with just enough tension to keep you watching. I don’t just tell stories. I brew them. Smooth. Bold. And always with a kick.

Soft Corners of the City

It was late afternoon in Antwerp when the light shifted. Just enough to make the rooftops glow. I looked up and this tower felt like it had paused mid-sentence, holding a secret just for me. I had come to the city chasing sunlit facades and quiet corners, and this one gave me both. The softness in the shadows, the almost pastel sky. It felt like stumbling into the frame of a forgotten film. Everything about this moment whispered stillness. And I clicked.

The Joy Between

A celebration of connection. This portrait captures the unfiltered joy shared between two friends in a moment of pure laughter. In the softness of the studio light, their genuine smiles bloom, unposed and unguarded. This image is about comfort, trust, and the kind of fun that makes the camera forget it’s there. It’s a reminder that the best work happens when people feel truly free.

Laced with Intentions

It starts with a hand, a grip, soft lace caught in the moment. Is she adjusting? Undressing? Second-guessing? You’ll never quite know. The fabric whispers secrets, the fingers hold them tight. There’s tension, texture, and just enough skin to keep you curious. It’s a story in a frame, a tease without a shout. Because sometimes the sexiest moments are the ones that make you lean in closer. Details don’t scream but they seduce. That’s where I come in.

Whispers of the Forest

Not every story shouts, some whisper. This photo is a quiet observation of nature’s geometry. A pinecone, caught

mid-growth, tucked between needles and bark. Unbothered. Unrushed. Shot to show how much beauty hides in stillness, and how the smallest moments deserve just as much attention as the grand ones. This is where my lens lingers. On the details most people pass by. Because often, that’s where the magic lives.

Whispers of Light

In this studio portrait, light becomes a storyteller—gently unraveling the subject’s presence from the shadows. Her gaze meets the lens with quiet strength, while soft highlights sculpt her features, allowing emotion and texture to rise from the dark. A study in stillness, intimacy, and the quiet power of focused light.

Just swimming

Caught this charming little traveler mid-glide. Calm, curious, and completely in their element. I love photographing animals, especially moments like this where nature feels like it's holding its breath. The ripples, the reflections, the duck just doing its duck thing… It’s a peaceful story told in motion. Sometimes, beauty is just floating by.

Tears of Gold

A self-portrait shaped by shadow and shimmer. In this image, the gold traces the path of tears. Not as symbols of sorrow, but of transformation. The darkness holds her gently, making space for both beauty and mystery. Light is scarce but deliberate, catching the gold and strands of red hair like whispers of fire in the void. There is a quiet strength here—a presence unspoken, yet undeniable. Her gaze unseen, but her essence unmistakable: soft, powerful, and becoming.
