Begging for votes to win photography prizes. I hate it.
Another photography award.
It took a lot of time just uploading your work. It seems the quality of photography nowadays depends of your social network.
Yes, I am a loner. I work alone, I photograph alone and I’m not even on Facebook.
And I don’t have time to share my work, or to upload my work to every site on the damned net asking for it.
I need all of my time just to earn a living with photography, in real live.
But for this time, and this time only, I ask you to visit this site,
and to vote for my work or to donate 1$ here. Yes a symbolic 1$

BDW cover image Brussel Deze Week published
Yes I know, it’s a little out of focus, but it’s a nice composition, I thought.
Mama Marie and other volunteers giving asylum-seekers a cup of soup and some bread when they’re thrown out of the asylum bureau taking a lunchbreak.
They all have a number so they don’t loose their place in the queue.
I was doing this last minute assignment for the BDW and never thought it would end up on the cover of the Brussels Daily.
Read it online.

new photographers agency from Belgium
At Photoshelter, an online archive and photographers site, I started a new agency just yesterday.
About 50 photographers from Belgium have their archives available on Photoshelter indivdualy, so I thought: Why not put them all together?
So whenever your looking for great photography from a Belgian photographer you can search and buy your editorial images directly from the photographer’s through the agency.
Better prices than buying it through a normal agency, and here the fee is for the photographer himself, so you’re helping photographers stay alive.

One never knows what photos editors pick
PUBLICATION ON NRC
As you saw in a previous post, I did quite some photographing at the coronation of Willem-Alexander in Holland. And what did I find? Only one picture was used until now, and it is this totally boring picture of mine, at least, when you compare it to all the colorful images I shot over there in Amsterdam.
Well, this is a online publication. The other images, spread by Corbis and Hollandse Hoogte, could end up in magazines too, but a photographer only knows this at its best one month later. All that without seeing the final publication, or even knowing what paper or magazine it was published in. Just by seeing the bill the agency sent with sold footage.
That is the frustrating thing of being a photographer nowadays. You don’t know if your pictures get sold. And when you get to know they were sold, you see the bill, but often you don’t know in what publication they ended up, or in what layout or on what page they were used.
OK, never mind. The real kick of photography is the process of capturing the images. Whatever happens with them later on, is history!

how to refocus your pictures with a Lytro lightfield camera ?
It sounds like coming from the future. Taking snapshot and refocusing on your subject, or the background, afterwards. It is possible and affordable with this new camera.
OK, It’s just a fun gadget and has nothing to do with the art of photography, but I just wanted to show you. Have a look at the gallery where you can refocus all images taken by the Lytro. It’s fun, but can it ever be usefull? I guess only when the focalpoint is also zoomable afterwards, and when the reaction time is really only a splitsecond. IT looks a bit premature now, but I’d love to try it.

photography coronation Dutch King Willem-alexander in Amsterdam
I really looked forward photographing the coronation, but as a freelance photographer I was denied all access to photographers pools. Even with a nice letter of my photographers-agency, I just couldn’t get in. But well, I still made the best of it, and tried to document the surroundings of the coronation, the crazy Dutch in my homecountry.

Why pay your photographer ? just give ‘m CREDITS
What the Duck cartoon on Credits
S0 right. Some people still think credits are a gesture. Sorry, but credits are the first rule of photography, obliged, and they don’t pay the bill.

What photography pays (news, magazines)
I found this great document to be filled in by photographers themselves. So they can see how prices are nowadays in photographyland. Don’t be shocked by some really poor paid images and assignments.
Readers and buyers of printed news, now you knows where your money doesn’t go!-)
And let’s praise the photo-editors who still pay photographers a healthy amount of money for there work.
Belgian Belfius press-awards judging has started
As a former winner of the Belgian Belfius press award, I was invited to help judging this year’s press-photography award.
The Belfius press-awards are several awards for photography, radio- and tv reportages, and of course written articles, made in journalists from Belgium.
This will be the 50st year the prizes will be chosen.
Here you’ll see my photograph, that won last year made in May 2011, just at the beginning of the Dexia/Belfius crisis.
This year the winner will be…not in b&w. The next and final judging will be on 23rd om Mai 2013.

cars in European snow. Details photostory
Wandering through Brussels in a snowy snowstorm this morning, just photographing the beautiful world in white, I saw strange snow-sculptures on the back-ends of cars. I thought it would make a funny sequel.
