About Hyun De Grande

I was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1987 and I was adopted to Belgium when I was around 4 months old. I grew up in a small town called Oostkamp together with my parents and my brother, who is also adopted.

At the age of 15, I started studying film and photography at the Art Academy in Bruges, which was my introduction to both artforms. After two more years of studying film at the School of Arts in Ghent, I moved to Brussels in 2008 to specialize in cinematography at the RITCS.

I’m still residing in Brussels, and I currently work as a cinematographer in the narrative and commercial fields. Street photography has been emerging in my life as a passion in between film jobs.
