We captured the decaying evolution of a morning after fry-up with a breakfast fit for kings having taken a turn for the worst in this day-to-day documentary of the rotten. First off, the shots we ran with in our Morning After edition... Then two behind-the-scenes ones: What Sarah - who shot […] Continue

In the rush of it all, I skipped a whole set of photographs Maren had taken. A little later than expected, some more Christmas Kitsch, this time from her recent trip to Barcelona: […] Continue

Its been a long year, and, despite it being halved, an apparently even longer week. Stylists with egos the size of cathedrals (we won't kick and tell), distributors who want more (not that we'd complain) and readers we disappointed (our Charleroi series seems to have rubbed one or two locals […] Continue

We've given our new photography intern, Maren, a somewhat seasonal assignment for her first week with us: to capture the gaudy kitschiness of Christmas. From Made in China plastic baubbles and diluted Christmas glühwein to synthetic reindeers and like-for-like window displays, we've given up reminiscing on the good old days […] Continue

With Veerle's internship drawing to a close (sadly, she's leaving us today), we bring you the latest installement in her continuing series. Here, she wanders the Ghent neighbourhoods of Ledeberg and Gentbrugge, dilly-dallies in the forest of Wenduine before ending up in Blankenberge. Continue

Given the visual treats we've been getting from Arnaud and Adrien, Veerle's wandering photography series has taken somewhat of a back seat. Bringing her back to the fore, here's part three of her world in images: […] Continue

In part three of their voyage, Arnaud and Adrien hop aboard Japan's Shinkansen for an outward-looking, high-speed wizz through the country's urban landscapes. "So we hit Tokyo Station to try out our very first Shinkansen (Japan's answer to France's TGV), we buy tickets at the counter with a nerdy grin […] Continue

Part two of Arnaud and Adrien's Japanese trials and tribulations takes us to Jimbocho, Tokyo's mile-long ode to ink on paper, for a couple of hours of obssessive rummaging. The day spent amongst the shelves had somewhat of a pilgrimage feel to it for Arnaud, an avid collector, connaisseur and […] Continue

Up-and-coming director Arnaud Uyttenhove and writer Adrien de Liedekerke, whom you'll soon hear more of on these pages, recently came back from three weeks spent in the Land of the Rising Sun. Beyond the obvious "bright light big city" effect, they came back with a couple of gems for us […] Continue

Here's the second installement of our intern Veerle's continuing series captured on her way to work. Landscapes, portraits, still lifes and architecture. A little something something for everyone... […] Continue

...it's your birthday. Celebrating her 25th birthday tomorrow (27th October 2009), our intern Veerle took to her camera for a comical celebration of sorts. Although we're pretty sure things should normally happen the other way around (we give YOU a present Veerle, not the other way around), we're always […] Continue

Upon the release of her book Diaries, Greek photographer Chryssa Nikoleri - who photographed a Greek MEP for our September issue's piece on the concerns some had on the supposed benefits of Nano technology - sent us some of the polaroids published in the book. With no clear […] Continue
