I wish you all a happy year 2020 from the bottom of my heart. May the following weeks and months bring better news than what the first couple of weeks of this new decade have brought. And I’m obviously not talking about the #Megxit, that has pathetically grabbed all the media attention from all around the world. #Australia #Iran
I haven’t posted or shared anything here since the new year’s eve actually, despite the fact that I was traveling in Thailand and returned home last week. The recent world news really had me be down in the dumps and I didn’t feel like sharing anything that seemed completely inappropriate. I really wanted to take the time to ‘’digest’’ what I had seen/heard before sharing stuff about my time in Thailand, that no one actually cares about. It just didn’t feel right. I really appreciate the fact that some major players on this platform tried to raise awareness on what is going on in Australia, and are still using their voice in a meaningful way. Some have really helped in collecting funds, and I truly hope it made a big difference for the firefighters, the wildlife, and those who lost a lost during those tragic events.
But now what? I’m afraid that on social media, people move on fast and tend to forget quickly. The ‘’hype’’ around it seems to be gone, sadly. Who remembers the destructive Amazon fires that took place not even 5 months ago? Even though the Australian fires are decreasing, even if, somehow, they all get under control, the damages will stay. Forever. That’s why I think it’s still important to take actions.
A couple of weeks ago, my friend @jarradseng came up with that great idea to gather art work from many photographers: @artforfirerelief
100% of proceeds will go towards organisations at the forefront of the relief effort: Australian Red Cross, Wildlife Rescue NSW & Wildlife Victoria. These are organisations that still need our help on the long term, not only when a crisis is at its peak. More than $30,000 have been raised so far, thanks to the help of generous partners. If you guys feel like helping a little, please head over @artforfirerelief website bushfirerelief.org, and order an A3 size print from any of the 30+ phot

I’m excited to share with you some impressions from my last trip in Iceland, two months ago, all inspired by @Montblanc Fragrances Explorer.

These were taken during what I call the transition season in the Arctic. Late October, when the country slowly starts to embrace winter, and when the temperature instantly drops. I remember that evening spent alone on a beach of the Reykjanes peninsula. As the sun was setting and the waves were crashing on the rock formations, my hands were completely frozen because of the negative temperature and strong winds that I had to face. Yet, it was one of my favorite moments of 2019. Why? Because it was completely unplanned. I was driving along the coast during golden hour, and was looking for a nice spot to spend the last hour of daylight. The powerful waves on the horizon quickly caught my attention, and I decided to find a way to get closer to the ocean. When I left my car and started to walk towards the beach, all I remember was the strong gusts and the irresistible smell of that beach. Not that it was a particular one, but for some reason, I’ve associated the short time spent there with that smell. I’m sure some of you will relate. —
When I travel, I try to use all my senses as much as I can to create memories. Smell is undoubtedly one of the most important. If you like bergamot as much as I do, then give Montblanc Explorer a go for this holiday season :)

I was asked by @Montblanc Fragrances to think of one of my favorite places to reconnect with myself when I feel the need for it. Without hesitation, this place has to be Iceland. A land of contrasts in all its forms. Every year I make a point to return to the land of ice and fire at least once, sometimes even twice a year. —
Iceland has gain a lot of attention in the past years, and because of this some might think this would be the last place they’d travel to in order to find inspiration. To me this is quite the opposite actually. Iceland is a place where I really can reconnect with myself and the nature, whether I’m traveling alone or with friends. It’s a place where I constantly have to challenge myself with a new creativity approach. Earlier this year I had the chance to return to a place that have haunted my dreams since I visited it in 2017. But this time, I was there to witness the first snowfall of the season. What a surreal and unique landscape this was!

Iceland really has it all. Whether you’re after snow-caped mountains, beautiful fjords, volcanoes, waterfalls, unreal colourful mountain ranges or pristine coastline with waves that you will remember for the rest of your life, it’s a country that has changed the lives of many that I know, and that might just change yours too if you know the right places to go.

Simplicity.
One of the nice things about the last month I spent working on my printshop is that I found old unpublished photos I had totally forgotten about, like this one that I took on my very first time in Iceland, almost 4 years ago.
If you want to enjoy -20% discount on all prints, the launch offer ends tomorrow. Just use code LOVE at checkout. Free shipping worldwide :)

Friends! Many of you have been supporting me for years now by ordering my annual wall calendar. For some reasons, I didn't release one last year (sorry for those who missed it, the house renovations kept me too busy), but thought I'd bring back what has been an annual tradition for 6 years now :) .
The first batch of orders will be shipped in a couple of days, so if you want to make sure you get your calendar on time for Christmas, now is the best time to order it. Did I mention I'm also offering free shipping to anywhere in Belgium? :) .
Last but not least, I’ve finally released my printshop! So if you’re after a fine art print for your home or office, or if you’re running out of gift ideas for the holidays, then check out my selection of prints, as I'm offering a 20% discount and free worldwide shipping this week only as a launch offer for my new webshop.

Again, THANK YOU for your support!

I took those images last May, during an epic flight with @volcanopilot, and for some reason I never shared any of the 600 images I brought back from that day.
I’ve been working nights and days on my laptop for the last couple of weeks, but barely found the time to edit any photos though. I’ll soon finally be able to share with you what I’ve been up to.
Browsing through that photo session felt incredibly refreshing, and after a few weeks at home, I’m seriously starting to get itchy feet!
