Finding beauty in everyday life through street photography

Hello and welcome! I’m Olivier.

I’m a street photographer with a curious heart, a love for stories, and a camera that rarely leaves my side. I live in the medieval city of Bruges, Belgium, where cobblestones seem to whisper old tales and everyday life unfolds like a stage waiting to be seen. This is where I wander most often, searching for the extraordinary hiding quietly in the ordinary.

  • Photo of a man looking at a shop window in Bruges.
  • Silhouette of a man in Bruges with a yellow truck behind.
  • Photo of a silhouette holding a phone in Bruges.
  • Photo of man walking in Bruges with the Belfry in the background.

For me, street photography feels a bit like treasure hunting. Whether I’m exploring the familiar corners of Bruges or discovering new cities around the world, I’m always drawn to vibrant colours, playful reflections, and the small, unfolding stories that shape urban life. I look for fleeting glances, silhouettes in the evening light, the dance of shadows across old stone, and those unscripted moments most people pass by without noticing.

Every photograph I make is not only about what I see, but about the feeling of being there — the hush of a narrow alley, the warm glow of dusk settling over a place I’m visiting for the first or the hundredth time. Through my lens, I hope to bring you into these little worlds and reveal the unexpected beauty tucked inside everyday moments.

I’ve tried many genres over the years — landscape, portrait, macro, even sports — before discovering that street photography was my true home. That passion has taken me on some wonderful adventures. While studying at the London School of Photography, I was honoured to be named Student of the Week, a milestone that encouraged me to keep pushing my craft. Since then, my work has appeared in exhibitions across Belgium, including my first solo show in Knokke-Heist, and has been featured internationally in places like Fujilove Magazine in Switzerland, as well as an interview on Belgium’s Radio 2 Podcast.

Thank you for being here.
