I'm Bruno van de Voorde, a Belgian photographer with a focus on analog and editorial-style photography.
Born in Brussels in 1994, I’ve drawn inspiration from the places I’ve lived (especially Tokyo) where I learnt to observe the world around us slightly differently.
Though I began with videography, I made the switch to still photography in 2019. That shift allowed me to work more slowly and deliberately. I was especially drawn to the world of analog photography during the pandemic. The tactile and mechanical nature of film, with its imperfections and unforgiving unpredictability, taught me to think more and pay closer attention to both my subjects and my compositions. This fascination with the medium, I believe, is reflected in my work.
I now work across both digital and film formats, choosing between them depending on the context. Trends are important in photography, yet I always try to strike a balance between trend and timelessness.
Alongside photography, I also work as a medical doctor in Leuven! It’s a very different world, but one that has pushed me to be observant, calm under pressure, and always focused on the human behind the surface. Valuable skills that quietly carry over into the way I shoot.
5 Golden Reasons to Work With Me
1. True Technical Mastery
Whether I’m working with high-end digital gear or loading a roll of analogue film into my vintage camera, I bring deep technical knowledge to every shoot.
2. Calm Under Pressure
My medical training taught me to stay composed and focused, even in life-or-death situations. Whether you're on a tight editorial deadline or it’s your wedding day, I bring a calm, grounded presence you can rely on.
3. A Keen Eye for Subtle Details
Photography is about seeing what others miss. Both my artistic and medical experience have trained me to notice subtle details, capture quiet moments, and elevate them into something lasting.
4. Warmth, Wit, and Real Connection
I’m known for putting people at ease: with a good sense of humour, a respectful attitude, and a natural way of making you feel seen. That’s when the best photos happen: when you forget the camera is even there.
5. Multilingual
Fluent in English, Dutch, French, and German (with a working knowledge of Japanese and Russian), I connect easily across cultures and contexts.
