DANNY VEYS

Besides Danny Veys also realised reportage series in collaboration with non-profit organisations like Balkan actie and Vredeseilanden.
He is a teacher of documentary photography at the Institute for Higher Education of the Visual Arts Saint Lucas Brussels.

GUIDO CEUPPENS is a specialist in old techniques like cyanotypy en color photography using gumprint.

DIRK FERDINAND is fascinated by the people around him. He tries to photograph them in their daily non-professional life. He composes series of arranged photographs from these shots. For him, photography is more than mere observation, he also wants to collect and classify. He takes pictures of people within their social framework, looking for the things they have in common and tries to capture those similarities in series of photographs.
He registers connections, stereotypical behaviour, trends, symbols, icons and not infrequently subconscious patterns of collective behaviour. He zooms in on daily life and questions habits, traditions, rituals. Repetitions in human behaviour are reflected in his surprising thematic montages.

RYAN ROMBAUT a very special person and magnificent photographer.

BRUNO VERHASSELT shows artistic photography. He is obsessed with quality and so he still photographs with the legendary analog mid-format cameras and works exclusively in black and white. Of course he prints his photos himself on baryt-paper.
Bruno admires the "American School" and his favourite examples are : Edward Weston, Jock Sturges, Sally Mann, Richard Adams, Ansel Adams, but also: Minkinen, Jean-Loup Sieff and a lot of others.
