2014 Wrap-Up

What a year it has been, it was not a real eventful year here on my blog (which I will definitely improve next year) but some great things did happen both personally as well as professionally for me in 2014.

Wabi-Sabi Architecture

Recently I had the opportunity to photograph one of the homes designed by late architect Eddy Francois in one of his favorite styles: Wabi-Sabi. I can honestly say that this property has one of the most special designs that I had the opportunity of photographing. The interior and exterior flow perfectly into one another, which is largely due to

Qualified European Photographer (QEP)

With a lot of pride I am able to say that on June 8th I was awarded as one of the youngest photographers, and the youngest Belgian, the title and quality label of Qualified European Photographer (QEP) at the QEP-judging session held in Riga, Latvia. I am also merely the 3th Belgian and 18th European photographer who is awarded this QEP-title in the category Architecture.

European Photographer (EP)

It's official! This past weekend I was awarded the European Photographer (EP) qualification after a series of my architectural & interior photos was judged by a jury of my peers.

The European Photographer (EP) is a Europe-wide qualification for professional quality photography, it aims to recognise competence and a professional quality standard for Professional Photographers. The EP is a professional quality assurance certification, presented by the Federation of European Photographers (FEP).

3 FEP Awards

Today I received my 3 FEP awards from the hands of the FEP President, Jørgen Brandt. I won these 3 FEP awards with my series of architectural photos in one of the most important professional photography competitions of this moment, the "European Professional Photographer of the Year Awards". The award ceremony was held in the beautiful town of Gmunden, Austria by the Federation of European Photographers (FEP), during the "Gmunden Fototage".

Toronto Wrap Up

This post is a continuation of the Blue Mountain wrap-up. As previously mentioned, I booked a quick trip to Canada last month and ended up staying in Blue Mountain and Toronto, Ontario. Having never been to either destinations I must admit it are definitely 2 places I will return to one day. In this part I will list up some of things in Toronto. Start by downloading the See Toronto app. This is a very useful application that provides tips on things to see and do including easy-to-search event, dining, attractions and shopping listings, as well as the distance from your location to the spot.
