The Sublime Beauty of Being Photography Services The Sublime Beauty of Being Photography "Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still." Dorothea Lange Fine art wedding photography Love is all that truly gives meaning to our existence. The union of two souls in the ritual of marriage is an expression of faith and trust in each other. If you will trust me and chose me to be your witness behind the lens I will capture those moments of your life journey with elegance and devotion to detail. Urbex photography Are you fascinated by abandoned locations and the decay of human urban landscapes? Do you want to be captured in an unconventional setting? I am your photographer. Portrait photography Portraits are the gateway to a person's soul. I came to love photography because through my lens I could capture the unseen. I could find strength where only vulnerability was shown. Your trust in me and my lens will become a gift to yourself: an image to remind you of your own value. Brand photography Through my pictures I tell the story of your professional identity with a cinematic style, timeless, elegant, detailed and warm. Couple photoshoot This experience is an invitation to pause and create something meaningful together. A fine art couple session becomes a lasting memory, and a thoughtful gift — for your partner and for the future you share. Photographs not just to be seen, but to be felt, treasured, and passed on. Digital heirlooms Families are the building blocks of our societies, and just like our societies, they evolve in shape, form and colours. Despite the constant evolution, the core of families is always there: love, belonging, legacy. With a delicate and soulful visual storytelling I mix images and narrative to create digital heirlooms that will connect generations through memory and meaning. A perfect gift for parents and grandparents for their anniversaries or jubilees, or a gift to those who remain when the end of a life approaches and we have the desire to be remembered and fully known. Testimonials Theo & Sandra Deckers Wedding services We want to thank you for the beautiful pictures and heartwarming work you and Aubane did at the wedding of our daughter. It looks and feels like a work of art painted in love. Thank you! Emiel Spriet Digital heirlooms services When I read your book, you bring my mother alive. Suddenly she is there. Using her words …, sentences, of which I know each pronunciation. I can literally hear her. My mom said “YES” to me and welcomed me on earth. And you, Francesca, understood that “YES”, by capturing it in pictures, as fragile as those memories. Describing her as if you opened the window of your own home … and let the vibration drift in …. I hear the digital ink touching the white pages. As if all spoken words were gathering on one boat …. Standing on the shore, I see them passing…. It always gives me an unexplainable inner joy. Thank you 🙏 Simon De Moerloose Branding photography It was a great experience working with Francesca as photographer in my studio. A few days before the session, she sent me a moodboard to share her vision for the photoshoot and to give me some ideas about what I could mainly show and bring to life. This really helped bring the character of my work and studio to the forefront, and the final result shows exactly what lies at the heart of my work and what it is all about. Thank you so much, a fantastic result! Definitely recommended for branding!!

An intimate couple photoshoot in Ghent or elsewhere in Belgium, creating timeless fine-art images in natural, urban or atmospheric locations. Couple photoshoot "Because when you love, you know what makes the world turn" Dave Gahan 1/1 A couple photoshoot is an intimate work of art.

Through light, composition, and emotion, your relationship is translated into timeless images. To elevate this experience, I carefully propose beautiful and uncommon locations throughout Ghent, its surroundings, and across Belgium. From poetic natural landscapes and quiet city corners to raw, abandoned urban spaces filled with texture and atmosphere, each place is chosen to resonate with your story. These settings are not backdrops, but part of the narrative — spaces where your connection can unfold naturally. This experience is an invitation to pause and create something meaningful together. A fine art couple session becomes a lasting memory, and a thoughtful gift — for your partner and for the future you share. Photographs not just to be seen, but to be felt, treasured, and passed on.

Natural fine-art family photography in Ghent for children, couples, anniversaries and celebrations, creating warm images to preserve and pass on. Family portraits "Family is not an important thing. It's everything." – Michael J. Fox 1/1 Family portraits are a way of holding onto what matters most. In quiet gestures, shared smiles, and the way hands naturally find each other, our stories unfold. With a fine art sensibility for visual storytelling, I preserve these fleeting moments with intention and care, transforming them into images meant to be felt as much as seen. Each portrait becomes a digital heirloom — a meaningful gift for parents, grandparents, and loved ones — carrying love, connection, and presence across generations.

Photographer with a passion for cinematic visual story telling and soulful images based in Ghent, citizen of the world. “Francesca’s photography services wish not only to deliver high quality images and videos, but through her unique style and the deep connection to the world she frames, her work captures personal moments with the most intimate level of detail, painting with light and shadows stories of the soul, capturing the force of people and places merging together through coloured and black and white tints.” ABOUT MYSELF I grew up in Italy, inspired by my father's infinite knowledge and nourished by my mother's gifted cooking. After my master in Marine Biology, I pursued and received my PhD in Marine Sciences at the Ghent University, where I worked as researcher for more than 15 years. A world citizen at heart, I travelled the world and discovered that its beauty is intrinsically embedded in the diversity of all its peoples and their cultures. My camera was first a travel companion. Finally, after years of practice, I discovered how I am "my happiest self" when behind the lens, when people allow me to capture their beauty, when they trust me with their life moments. I am the happiest when I can witness and capture love. In 2025 I decided to step out of a world made of numbers and graphs, to enter the space of light and shadows, turning into a researcher of love, memories and emotions through the lens of my camera. I welcome everyone independent of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class and religious belief. I speak Italian, English, Spanish, Dutch and French. If you like my style, if it resonates with you, let me tell your story, let me capture your memories and freeze them forever in a digital form of beauty. Contact me

Photos of a beautiful woman in an abandoned location with details of her hands and chiaro-scuro light Portrait of a Doll Maker Anouk De Groote, my friend and talented doll maker (@pantovola.art), posed for me in between the decaying walls of an abandoned farm in the Belgian countryside. During the photoshoot the light was falling on her dress and her skin like in a Caravaggio painting. I could not help but notice how her hands, the crucial tool for her craftsmanship, were just perfect: no cuts, no calluses, no sign of tear. I happen to fall in love with details I see in the people I portray. They tell so much of one's story. Like our skins.... the biological archive of our habits and choices. Scars are like chapters narrating unwanted endings. Wrinkles like guardians to our learnings, proliferate where we most express who we are. The largest organ in our bodies, the skin is rarely considered as such. In my photography, its complexion and its color plays with the light to create a human landscape from which it is hard to take one's look away.

Portraits of a man with tattoos and working with shoemaker tools Simon De Moerloose Simon De Moerloose is a talented bespoke shoe- and bootmaker based in Belgium who also happens to be one of my very good friends. He is as well one of those men I invited to be part of a photographic project very dear to my heart. The work will portray those men in my life who separate themselves from patriarchal narratives. The project is yet a works-in-progress but in the meantime, I am proud to share this work where I captured Simon working in an improvised atelier inside an extremely charismatic urbex location.
