Collecting stories
Hi, I’m Jo,
A passionate Belgian photographer with a knack for turning life’s rawest, realest moments into memories that last. My passion is the art of photojournalism – capturing those in-between moments that tell the unscripted story. I thrive on playing with angles, emotions, and the unexpected, giving you images that make you feelsomething.
With a bit of a wild streak and a love for exploring places off the beaten path, I’m also drawn to international projects, conservation efforts and global causes that need to be seen. The untold narratives – that’s where I’m headed.

In the spotlight

Portrait
Studio
Every person embodies multiple layers and roles in life. Through my portraits I aim to capture their essence, emotions and unique stories.

Storytelling
Breastfeeding in public
Cultural norms and silent judgments shape perceptions, yet it remains a natural act of care. I seek to highlight the strength, intimacy, and quiet grace of mothers embracing their nurturing role.

Top photographer who nailed the style of
photos I was looking for after just one collaboration.
Keep up the good work!
Every day is a canvas filled with unique moments waiting to be captured.
As a photographer, I see the stories in these moments, the connections between people and the emotions that resonate deeply.
Warmly,
xoxo. Jo
