Robin Vandenabeele
After picking up a camera and seeing the results from the first rolls of black and white film some 15 years ago, it was clear that this was going to be a long-term liaison with photography.
Being employed on international music tours and thus travelling a lot for work, this has allowed him to capture and document the spirit of a lot of places.
In search of unique imagery the photographer is not shy to use various experimental techniques such as cross-processing, using toy cameras, multiple exposures, color gelled lighting, using flatbed scanners or a phone camera as a capture device, etc ..
The instruments used are of less importance than the final results obtained.
Robin will try to capture the essence of a place whilst adding his own twist to it.
One of the larger projects are the double exposure photographs which are always made on the spot with a handheld SLR camera.
His artworks are featured on book covers and displayed in boutique hotels and several international galleries. He sells his images in Bruges where he occupies a spot on the local artisans market whenever he is home.
