Behind the lens
Hi, I am Mik. Photographer, adventurer & enjoying life.
Hi, I’m Mik, a Belgian photographer, traveller and storyteller, based between Belgium and Japan, with the rest of the world as my playground.
Before photography became my job, travelling was already a huge part of my life. I left the traditional path behind, traded certainty for a camera and a backpack, and spent years living and working around the world, from Australia to Japan.
Between 2018 and 2023, I worked as a travel photographer and blogger, photographing landscapes, cities, cultures and unique places, while collaborating with travel and hospitality brands and building an award-winning travel platform.
Those years shaped the way I photograph today. I learned to look beyond beautiful locations and focus on atmosphere, light, small details and the moments that make a story feel real.
Japan has since become much more than a destination. It’s a second home, and a big part of that is Nao, my Japanese partner. Together, our life naturally moves between Belgium and Japan, two very different worlds that somehow feel equally familiar.
Today, I bring everything I learned on the road together with another passion that grew along the way: photographing people and the stories they create together.
Short about me
- Hooked on Asia, and still convinced the best Massaman curry is the one you eat in Thailand.
- Wild landscapes always win, mountains, jungle and especially waterfalls. The higher and more powerful, the better.
- Happiest with a camera in my hands, photographing people and being creative gives me the most energy.
- A head full of ideas, photographer, traveller, entrepreneur and eternal project starter, usually with way more plans than time.
