Issue 94 - April 2023

Where do you get inspiration from? My inspiration comes from many sides. I love photographers like: Stephan
Vanfleteren, my all-time hero. But also Erwin Olaf and people like Ansel Adams, Lindberg and Herb Ritts. Next to
that I get my inspiration from art exhibitions, we visit often. When we walk through the country side I see beautiful
locations, but also from a smile or a discussions.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture? Before a shoot I make a concept, moodboard, depending
on the model. Her style, the location I choose.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? I am an amateur (lover of art)
What has been your most memorable session and why? I had many amazing sessions, great locations, wonderful
models. The most memorable session was with @phylactere (Mariette) she asked me to do a session together in
het grandfathers atelier.: in Paris. Mariette is a dancer but much more, her father an actor, her grandfather was a
sculptor and grandmother painter. We were on an early Sunday morning in that cold atelier filled with sculptures,
paintings. Light came in from one side. Grandfather gave me advice about light, shapes and standpoints. He was
very proud at his granddaughter. I was exhausted after 3 hours, all hese emotions, impressions. We came back to
another session at grandmothers atelier.
