AUTHOR
Nothing is to be ignored…
Jim Van Loo - Belgium based freelance photographer specialised in architectural photography of contemporary architecture and derelict structures.
Born in 1977.

Six weeks Barcelona had sharpened my fascination for contemporary architecture and street art. The desolation of urban wastelands, lines and contrasts: I wanted to record more than just holiday memories of a building or a place.
Eight years experience with digital photography and a constant urge to improve myself help me to catch those vibes, spot samples between everywhere and nowhere.
An environment attracts me with its highlights and its ugly sides – and how they can switch in a flash of the eye. I want to show the diversity, without getting mixed up in politics or global issues.
I love simplicity; life as such in the world that I call my own. I don’t want to sail by things just like that. Nothing is to be ignored. The wonders of nature and the monsters of concrete: each landscape, organic or artificial, has its secret beauty.
