Hi, I'm Louis!
Travel is in my DNA: born in New York and raised in Belgium, I am all about exploring.
Being an avid traveler and a foodie with a keen eye for details, I have turned my passions into a full-time job. I have over a decade of experience as a travel, landscape, and portrait photographer.
I love exploring and capturing diverse environments, and revealing their beauty to the world. What happens off the beaten tracks is what motivates me to walk the earth as freely and as often as possible.
Underwater photography holds a special place in my heart and my diving experience helps me spot and capture on camera the tinniest and most enchanting underwater creatures.
I am based in NYC, travel frequently to Europe and I am available for creative projects worldwide.
MY EQUIPMENT
I shoot with the Fuji Mirrorless system. I switched from Nikon DSLR's four years ago and I haven't looked back.
The Fuji system is perfect for travel photography as it is compact, lightweight and delivers images with an amazing color quality.
My workhorse is the XT4. I love the in-body stabilization, the new battery life compared to the XT3 and the still to video switch. My backup cameras are the XT3s. For my underwater work, my main setup is the XH1 with the 23 F2 coupled with the Nauticam WWL1 for wide angle; To capture small critters I go for the XF80mm f/2.8 Macro. My backups are the XT2s.
