Freelance photographer, member of the group Out of Focus, he worked with Belgian and international magazines and newspapers (Le Monde, Monocle, Das Magazin, The Guardian, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le Vif, L&#8217;Express, etc.). His work has been exhibited in recent years at the Images Singuli\u00e8res Festival in S\u00e8te, the Boutographies in Montpellier, the Transphotographiques in Lille, and the FOTO 8 Summer Show in London.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photographs and texts: Thomas Vanden Driessche 48 pages Size: 10.7 x 17cm Softcover ISBN: 979-10-92265-09-5 1st and 2nd edition sold out, only collector available.
