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.

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.

Aubane Filée Beauty is a universal experience. It cannot be taught. It cannot be explained. It cannot go unnoticed or be unseen. When I met Aubane Filée (Instagram accounts -- artistic: @f_l_u_n_e__b_a_i_e professional: @_flune_ ), I knew then and there that my camera would become addicted to her gentle lines, to the ethereal energy of her presence. My eyes came to rest on her beauty during hours-long soul's exchange framed by the dimmed lights of a restaurant. After every encounter, I was left reminiscent of an otherworldly experience... a deep spiritual connection flavored by fresh beauty, kindness, and candor flowing from her lips through the sensual timbre of her voice. A music that dissolved time into a single instant of bliss. With her, I learned how to see beauty. Anew. With her I am building a family made of love, communication and growth. Thank you amore for choosing to be my partner in this brief time on this Earth.

1/1 URBEX Urban exploration has become a new way of experiencing the urban environment, finding beauty in locations that have lost their functionality, leaving ground to the elements which reappropriate themselves of the abandoned materials. PRICING The price for an Urbex photoshoot depends on a series of parameters: the location of choice and its distance, the type of portrait and possible make-up (on site or after) or other details that need to be discussed in specific. A typical 2 hours shooting in a nearby (20 min ride) location without special make-up is 360 euros. Contact me

Where We Meet a short film by Aubane Filée @f_l_u_n_e__b_a_i_e

Digital heirlooms "Brouwerij Gistel" The project Brewery Gistel started as a property memoir project. Somebody who knew me through my Urbex explorations and my fascination with abandoned locations gave my contact to a friend whose family was in the process of selling their estate somewhere North, near the coast, in the country side of West Vlaanderen. As Emiel Spriet (the youngest son of then six children) told me when we first met "We are selling our mother's house". Georgette Marie De Leye, 95 years old, was too old to tend to the large dominion on her won. It had been already a few months that she entered the elderly home in Gistel, all the while the children were looking for the right buyer for their property. In fact Georgette's house was not a common "onroerend erfgoed", as it was (and still is) part of the common heritage of Belgium. Already indicated on the original land registry map of 1835, the "Brouwerij Dewaele" remained active through the Second World War, only to be closed in 1960. At the time located in Westkerke, Georgette and her husband Maurice Spriet purchased the property in the December 1968 from Dewaele's grand daughter Marie Louise Dewaele. Georgette and Maurice had recently lost their farm to the industrialisation the region was undergoing following the economic boom of the post war. That property was their new project. The new home for their big family. Forward to the year 2024...and so the story goes, that in front of the high renovation and maintenance costs, House Spriet-De Leye, previously known as Brouwerij Dewaele, a property safeguarding within its walls memories of entrepreneurship and business, of love and laughter, of hardships and growth, of loss and achievements...was finally - or shall I say again - looking for a new owner. But little I knew, I was starting a journey into the life of a woman I would come to love with deep affection and admiration. A woman from another generation, a generation that saw the Great Wars, WWI and WWII, becoming way too familiar with violence, hunger, insecurity and poverty. A generation that knew true hard work, sacrifice and humility. This woman touched my heart from the very moment I met her. Her simplicity and the kindness I saw in her eyes, told me stories of loss and fatigue, but also reminded me of all I most value in a person. The capacity to transform trauma and difficulties into dedication, discipline, personal integrity, and gentle wisdom. I knew Georgette cultivated through her decades the wisdom of what truly matters. The Family. The Home. Safety. Above left: Georgette's pensive look captured on the video during our first interview. video credit: Aubane Filée Above right: Emiel is posing for me during my first visit to the estate. He is never without his loyal companion Irma. Left and here below: the dining room located at the front of the house. The ceiling was decorated by a delicate fresco-like painting depicting tree Cupids, the god of love, passion and desire. In the summer of 2024 I was granted access to the house right before the sale act was signed. I roamed with my camera and tripod around the house, enchanted by the beauty of its rooms: the furnitures from the years 50ies till 70ies were lying on wooden floors or tiles dating back to the mid-to-late 1800 overcasted by ceilings that once upon a time must have been impeccable and extremely curated in their frescos. Each area of the house had a very specific colour palette, as if each room was to inspire a specific feeling to those lingering in its spaces. Objects of a random origin and precious furniture ranging from rococo to art deco, hinted to the reality of the families that inhabited it before Georgette and her belated husband could purchase it in the 50ies. The more I captured those rooms with my lens, the more I became connected to Georgette and her family. How was Georgette feeling about this major change, about the selling of her life's work and effort? How were her children and grandchildren going to keep this part of their family history alive in their memory. I felt honoured to be commissioned with such task. I realised that the pictures alone would be too silent, too immobile to deliver all the stories that were hidden behind every detail that captured my eye. I decided to ask Emiel, her youngest son and my direct contact with the project, to ask Georgette whether she would agreee to be interviewed by me. Georgette agreed. What follows are the memories, thoughts and feelings shared during two hours of intimate recount between a curious Italian photographer and Georgette De Leye, the daughter, the wife, the mother and grandmother. With this digital heirloom I wish to repay her trust and that of her children in sharing with me their family story. Above and to the left: in a reddish and warm colour palette is the master bedroom where Georgette and her belated husband used to sleep. The ever present cross as sign of respect towards the Church that was so present in those times. Something about the work at the farm and brewery once she too it upon herself

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. Contact me for more information and pricing depending on the event.

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.
