about
work with me
Louise Degraeve (°1992) is a photographer and book designer living and working in Ghent. In her artistic practise, she captures fractions of everyday life in which sensitivity prevails. In those humble moments she searches for stillness and honesty.
Exploring the power of suggestion through photography, her work is a play of approaching and taking distance. At times touched and sometimes confused, viewers can recognise personal memories in a visual language of postures and human actions. In search of the fragility of relationships, it celebrates the poetic in the personal.
Besides her artistic practice, she is at your service as a freelance portrait photographer and book designer.
