I’m David, a professional coder and enthousiast photographer. As a “leftie”, I guess its all about a mix of the left and right hand side of the brain for me: bringing some creativity and flair into my day job, and loving the technical side of things when I am out and about with my camera gear.

Location

I was born and raised in Belgium, but met the woman of my life in London and we decided to start our life together there. Since then the UK has become home for us.

Subjects

I love travelling, hiking and the great outdoors, so it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that my main photography subjects are landscapes and cityscapes. Food is another passion, so I also enjoy taking “tablescapes” for my wife’s food photography blog.

Whilst it’s great to travel to awe-inspiring locations across the world, I also love to explore my own “backgarden” just as much. Obviously London has got some stunning locations, but wider afield there are some amazing national parks in the UK - and I relish any opportunity to go out and explore them.

Accolades

Although photography is highly subjective, and awards are not a comprehensive guide, every now and then I decide to enter some of my photographs into competitions.
