About Hugues Draelants

I am a early 40s Belgian university professor living near Brussels. Self-taught photographer, I began to learn after the birth of my daughter, 7 years ago. As a sociologist, I was naturally drawn to street photography that I practice with passion during my (too rare) free time. Both photography and sociology indeed share the excitement of finding the familiar becoming transformed in its meaning.
