I'm a photographer based in Belgium. I discovered the magic of chemistry in 1996. The technology of photography evolved, and I replace the film by digital in 2000. Photography is an extremely personal experience in which the camera interprets and changes reality under guidance of the photographer. Today I have a particular interest in run-down buildings because of the history that is hidden inside. I try to embrace the silence and capture the tenderness of deterioration. In my own way and since I have a camera, I wander in search of faces and places, beauty and decay, anticipated and unexpected scenes. My documentary approach speaks about the themes of abandonment, emptiness and timeless. 1996-1997 - Photo Essay - INRACI - NARAFI - Brussels 2010-2014 - Graduated - ÉCOLE DE PHOTOGRAPHIE ET DE TECHNIQUES VISUELLES AGNÈS VARDA PRICEZ&AWARDS 2010 - Lauréat - 8Beaufort - Brussels : Thema “Flair Obscur” Over de duistere kant van de mens 2013 - 3th category Photography, Brussels - WEEKEND BLOG AWARD wwww.forsakenbeauty.be | www.helenatoscano.be
