I was really happy and honoured when I learned today that Leica selected one of my pictures for their architecture, cityscape gallery on LFI. Thanks so much 🙏...and of course a big thanks to @mark.fearnley who guided me towards this picture.

The station....

A few days ago I had the opportunity to visit the new Calatrava icon in Mons. For a streetphotographer like me who likes to work with lines, geometry and textures, this new building is obviously a "must go" and I was not disappointed. Here a shot from that day and of course I am always curious to hear your opinions...which ones you like most but also if you see potential to improve the shot. At the end of the day I am here to learn...

Eiffel tower series...

In Paris the Eiffel Tower is visible from virtually everywhere. Here is a series of pictures which I have taken during a very nice and educational workshop with @philpenman. A special thanks goes to the team of the @leicastoreparis which organised and hosted this fantastic workshop.

Pictures shot with Leica Q2.

💀🌹 Día de Muertos, Brussels – after dark

Great evening for a street photographer, out shooting with friends from @1000streets_collective. The parade was colourful and dark and scary all at once: skull masks, horns, drums, brass and a lot of shadows.
I experimented with flash and long shutter speeds, so the light smears and streaks while the faces stay sharp. Some frames came out strange, some a bit spooky, and I am pretty happy with the

Brussels after dark. ⚡️

A recent experiment pushing past my usual routine—exploring night street photography using flash to catch split-second moments in the dark.

I rendered each shot in both Black & White and Color.
