Made and assembled in Belgium but reprogrammed in California.

I've been photographing as a calling since 2008 after assisting another photographer/artist since 2003.  I'm always looking for beauty expressed by energy, forms, light and raw emotions.

The journey to photography wasn't the most straightforward one.  I started out as a composer/conductor by training, dabbled in painting and performance art but spent a lifetime as a self-made inventor in cutting edge technology covering a variety of art and photonics technology fields.

Laser and light special effects in music performance, movies and entertainment installations brought me to Los angeles, California, where exposed to brilliant talent, I developed the ability to see beyond the surface.

I don't photograph subjects but I photograph the way they make me feel and how this translates into a visual story.

My art has been called cinematic, quiet, emotional, dramatic, intimate ...

I'm currently based in Stockton, California but I have the privilege toward all over the world with great teams.

In my spare time, I'm converting a Stockton historic firehouse, built 1906-1908, into a gallery, studio, darkroom and meeting space for the creative photographic art community.

Contact me to inquire about current projects and rates. I shoot commercial, travel, portrait, events and fine art.

I work in digital 35mm and MFDB. I'm equally at home in analog film technology up to 20"x24"" film.
