Koen Van Belle (1968), living in Borgerhout, Antwerp, Belgium
When I was fifteen I bought my first camera, a Nikon EM with a 50mm lens.
I studied photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, graduated in 1992.
I don't stage pictures. I travel slowly, wander through neighbourhoods of cities and towns. I like to take my time to immerse myself in the atmosphere of a place.
Oftentimes I feel the urge to get away from the hectic city life and explore nature and wilderness.
