About Me

Hello, thank you for visiting my website.

My passion for the sea was born prior to my 10th birthday as I was watching Jacques Cousteau’s movies. Just about 10 years later, I started diving and taking underwater pictures with a rented Sea and Sea camera. I have never stopped taking underwater pictures since then.

For one of my birthdays, I got a Nikonos V underwater camera. A heck of a birthday present! This was probably the gift I’ve appreciated the most in my whole life.

Today and since the beginning of the digital revolution, I'm shooting with housed DSLR camera.

As electronics end studies project/thesis, I have developed in 1990-91 a diving computer with optical connection to a PC. That happened before the first diving computer model including a PC connection, was launched on the market (by Suunto).

After hundreds of dives in the dark and cold lakes of my Belgian homeland, I decided to move to Israel to be closer to my beloved Red Sea.

Since then, I had the chance to dive seas. oceans, rivers, lakes... all over the globe.

I love to shoot wildlife underwater, but I love to shoot human models as well.

Over the water, I love to shoot my travels and also music concerts, jazz, street photography...

My underwater photos and articles are published in magazines all over the world: Idive (IL), Diver Magazine (CND), Scuba Diver/Sport Diver (US), Unterwasser (GE), Let's Dive Mag (SP), Underwater Photography Mag (UK), Subaqua (FR), Marine Diving Mag (JP), X-Ray Mag (DK)
