Born in 1962 in Brussels, Belgium. Lives and works in Brussels. His fascination for photography started when he 6-years old, and his grandfather offered him his first camera. This was the first step in what would gradually become a true passion, nourished by a desire to discover the planet and its wonders with a genuine appeal for the Horn of Africa.
The attraction for this region led him to undertake a large project on the Great Rift Valley, a place on earth dubbed “the Mankind of Humanity.» He captured many images of its people and tribes. First, with portraits but also with a large work on the human skin through the ritual of body painting, scarification or jewelry.
He is the author of several books and has been widely exhibited in Belgium and France and held in 2014 a major exhibition in Brussels, «Portraits of the Rift.» In 2007 he won the best photography award delivered at the occasion of the exhibition l’Art pour l’Accueil held at the Xavier Hufkens gallery. In 2014, a jury chaired by Belgium Sotheby’s chairman granted the artist the photography prize in another collective exhibition in Brussels organized by Spot-U-Art.
