I was born in 1959 and I live in Zwankendamme, Belgium. I'm a housewife and part-time nurse, married and mother of 2 sons and 1 daughter.. with a passion for photography.
On my 12th birthday I got a small camera and I mainly photographed people like friends, family and later on especially my 3 children.
When I bought my first analogue SLR back in 1996 at the local professional photographer, he asked me if I was interested in a photography course. I mainly wanted to master the technique... my passion was sparked.
I photograph nearly all subjects, but my greatest passion is for portraits and streetphotography, because that way I can involve people.
Now that I have somewhat mastered the technique I photograph more from my instinct: spontaneous, dynamic, letting the picture speak for itself... without loosing sight of the technique and composition.
For me a picture must have that "little extra", be stylish, convey my own vision, make people wonder, ...
