As a student worker, I started my journey at Brussels Airport. I was a teenager, deeply in love with photography, and during the summer months I unexpectedly landed in a department I would later join full-time: the Corporate Communication Department.
I was given a camera, and they told me they didn’t want to see me for the rest of the day: “only to show us photographs.”
For any teenager trying to find their way in life, this felt like a dream.
During my bachelor’s degree in photography at Narafi Brussels, I also worked on a three-year documentary project at the airport. By then, I had gained full access, both airside and landslide and I knew my way around, as well as the people who could open doors and grant me access to places rarely seen.
After graduating, I continued working for Brussels Airport, its airlines, and service companies as a freelance documentary photographer. During COVID, I was working on a five-part video series with Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airport, but unfortunately all projects were put on hold, and eventually our paths diverged.
Still, the love I have for this remarkable airport will always remain.
This is only a small glimpse into the extensive archive of work I created for them, both digital and analog.
