One Hundred and Ninth Collection


In the background an old Dutch landscape from an old Dutch master. In a time when nobility really stood above the common citizens. The models could handle this role. Fortunately just for a short period.


I absolutely loved shooting with this cheerful lady, and this photograph is one of my favorites. Everything came together: the sun shining, the blue color of the sky in combination with the brownish colors of the Labyrinth, and her beautiful outfit and elegant pose. C-mine in Genk was the perfect decor for her Communion shoot.


In my portrait "Silent Resilience," I capture a child emerging from water, their gaze penetrating directly through the lens. The deliberate low-key lighting accentuates each water droplet on skin and hair, creating a textural contrast against the absolute darkness. I chose black and white to strip away distraction and focus on raw emotion. The child's sideways glance conveys a complex narrative of vulnerability yet defiance. The floral pattern clothing provides subtle structure amid the dramatic chiaroscuro. This image explores childhood's fleeting innocence and the universal human experience of emerging from darkness.


This was such a magical evening! The horse is Alano and the model is Liselotte and this is Renesse beach.


For me, the eyes are the most important part of a photo. And with this dog and his two-colored eyes, you just can’t go wrong. ❤️


This woman left a deep mark on me. Gentle, radiant, filled with peaceful and glowing energy. As a yoga teacher, she embodied presence, fully connected to herself and to each moment. I was moved by the tenderness and love she offered to the child growing within her. Every second of her pregnancy felt sacred, cherished like a precious breath. Her tattoos told a story, her own, and beautifully enhanced her presence as a mother-to-be. Through her, I felt this truth deeply: we must live every moment as if it were our last.


Models: Aslan & Annemayke
Photographer: Meraki Animal Art
They weren’t just posing. They were being. Aslan stood by Annemayke like he’s always known her. No pressure, no rush — just quiet, gentle connection. That’s the kind of magic you can’t fake.


Masks have a rich and multifaceted meaning. They are used in many different contexts. As far back as ancient Greece, they were used to express characters and emotions. Masks can evoke questions or simply be used for their beauty and mystery.
