ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Storm at the Belgian coast - 2018
AUTHOR
Eddy Verloes is a multi-award-winning photographer from Belgium. He is a literary symbolic photographer, a visual storyteller. His atmospheric shots of interiors, landscapes, and urban life hover beautifully between realism and surrealism. Taking a spontaneous approach to the craft, Verloes captures the unexpected moments of the everyday. His studies of literature and philosophy fueled an inquisitive search for the mystical and the poetic. He shoots with his soul, not with the camera. Please don't put him in a box.
Studies in literature, philosophy and arts at the the University of Louvain (Belgium) and the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg i.B. (Germany). Studies in photography at the Louvain CVO. Former organizer of Leuven Plaza Proms/Plaza Night 2005-2009 (Belgium).
