About Inge Driesen

(Mortsel, Belgium - 1980)

Living and working in Borgerhout (Antwerp), Belgium, with husband and three small children, Inge is all about photography. She took a degree in photography from the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst Mortsel.

She developed a taste for images in her earliest childhood. Inge was fascinated by old shots and pictures from - and by - her (great)grandparents and she often browsed the treasure chest of family archives.

After achieving her teacher’s degree in 2002 she spent a sabbatical year in South Africa. The following years brought long travels, camera in hand. Inge loves getting to know new people, learning about their stories and their memories.

Motherhood shifted Inge’s focal point. She stopped traveling, but she kept on taking photographs. Hunting down stories of other people made way for documenting the daily life of herself and her loved ones.
