My sensitivity to the world around me has always pushed me toward visual thinking.
I fell in love with photography after leaving a regular corporate job. I get bored easily, so I needed an outlet. Directing allows me to bridge the gap between the practical aspects of a project and my need to express myself through visual storytelling.
IMMERSIVE, SENSORIAL, CONTEMPLATIVE
My stories often evoke a dreamlike state—I love playing with the perception of time and experimenting with the way memories take shape.
I like to think the stories I create can tap into something deep and universal within the viewer. I aim to capture the subtleties of human nature, balancing hyper-stylized visuals with a naturalistic approach.
I CREATE LIKE I COOK
I like my classics done textbook but I always add an unexpected twist. Life is better that way—spicy and full of surprises.
I like locked-off shots with clean geometries, natural color palettes and soft light. But I absolutely love quirky attitudes, crazy contrasts, unexpected movement to action and handheld cinematography.
Time to throw in some leftover capres, anchovies-from-your-last-trip-to-the-sea and homemade whisky to your tomato sauce. :)
LIFE & INSPIRATION
I believe in living a good life. The everyday should hold something magical—small, simple, but meaningful.
You’ll find me riding my bike through Brussels, vibing to music. I love the mental exercise of imagining stories that fit a particular beat. Music is an emotional catalyst, helping me set the tone for the work ahead—or just unwind.
I collect books, archive my favourite movie stills, and absorb the quirks of those around me—storing them as inspiration for the stories I'll tell tomorrow.
There’s something profoundly powerful about filmmaking when it’s done right. Each new project challenges me to push my creativity and deliver something truly unique.
Let’s create something together.
