Hello from Belgium

[Dikkie]

Hey there

I’m Dirk from Belgium, occasional pixel wrangler, and full-time believer that “just one more shot” is a completely reasonable excuse to stay out way too late.

I spend most of my time chasing light, interesting corners of the city, and the kind of moments that make you stop and think “okay, that actually looked cooler in real life… but I’ll fix it in post.” My camera and I have a complicated relationship: sometimes it listens, sometimes it pretends not to hear me.

I like experimenting a lot—film, digital, weird angles, long exposures, short exposures, accidental exposures… basically anything that involves pressing the shutter and seeing what happens. When I’m not doing that, I’m probably tinkering with music or other creative distractions that start as “just a small idea” and end as a multi-hour rabbit hole.

Anyway, I’m here to share work, get inspired, and occasionally convince myself that gear acquisition is definitely a creative necessity.

Looking forward to finally seeing everyone’s work and learning from the madness

Hi Dirk, welcome, in my younger years I spent a lot of time in Brussels. Eddie Merckx cycle shop, super fries in the little cones in front of the cathedral..

Hi Dirk
My father was born in Brussels & spent his first couple of years around Gent/Gand. Though I have to admit my visits have mainly been to Brugge & Zeebrugge, if not just driving through.

I'm another who likes to play with all the options in photography, adding adapted lenses, infra red, extreme focal lengths and more to the fields you listed. It seems there always another technique to explore
