Hi there!
My name is Robin Vandenabeele and I am a photographer based in Gent, Belgium.
My artworks have already made their way onto the walls of boutique hotels, restaurants, corporate spaces and living rooms around the world. Your walls could be next.
This website gathers a selection of my best photographic works made around the world in the last ten years and offers them as museum-quality, limited edition fine art prints, with configurable mounting and framing.
A few words about how I got here:
My vivid interest in graphic art at a young age later led to a desire to create own artworks. Photography was portable, fast and fun and also aided in preserving memories by documenting key moments and projects so it became the tool of choice for creating visual art. I learned the craft with film cameras in the early 2000's by burning through film rolls and reading all available literature and photo books to hone my camera skills, discover new techniques like cross-processing film and learn about the history of photography. Looking for ways to create new compositions, a distinct double exposure technique became the technique of choice to create unique new compositions. By blending the light and shadow parts of an image with a rotated copy of itself in the camera and thus amplifying the visual signal, I create abstract and sometimes even surreal versions of architecture and landscapes at the times of exposure.
By de- and reconstructing visual tropes I aim to offer a different interpretation of reality through the medium of photography.
After making the photographs and editing I adore making my own large prints at home, with the right matte papers these images are striking when seen printed large and presented on a wall.
You can support my craft by buying a print.
Enjoy browsing the collections!
