Missing
In the summer of 2010, I got the chance to follow Alain Remue and his team, the Belgian Missing Persons Unit. I photographed them during their search for missing people. It was a special and very intense period for me, with lots of mixed emotions; the uncertain outcome of the searches, hope and fear, and the ever present tension that I have tried to capture. I was amazed by the professionalism and dedication of the search team. Last year, one of the divers drowned while searching for two little missing girls. I never got the chance to know him, but I think about him a lot.

Turnover Twisted Turtles
‘I love photographing twisted bodies. Shifted faces. This tension of the body when bent over, the detail that appears when there’s no face to look at.
In this series, I combine my own ‘Twisted Turtles’ with some negatives I selected from a dusted box full of negatives I’ve found in my little studio.’

‘High IQ kids’
‘Don’t get us wrong, these high achievers are in no way better than the average children roaming the country’s playgrounds.
They’re just five ordinary kids with a tad more potential that the rest of them – and that includes us adults.’

Soki
‘Photograpy of the Soki collection of jewellery and accessories, November 2009.
Soki is a creative studio based in Ghent that thinks out concepts for various disciplines. A common architectural base has led to the creation of small and pure objects, stylized graphic work and creative settings and interior projects. I love their work and it’s always a pleasure to work with them.’ /Model: A. De Witte/
