Framing Strangers: street portraits in medium format, on B&W film, scanned with borders. No cropping, no retouching, no AI. The result is as authentic as the encounter it captures.

This one is from the archives, I ran into Jean-Pierre in 2018; he was running a stall at the flea market on Place Dailly, not far from my home. With his little glasses and old style hat, he was hard to miss. He kindly agreed to have his picture taken.

Its the first post from a new photographic project which got me really out of my comfort zone 😅: Let's call it "Distinctive Strangers"

I've been walking in the streets of Brussels trying to find "Characters".. People that caught my attention because of their style, their look, their attitude or their features.. And then ask them if I can take a portrait with my Rolleiflex.

Rolleiflex 2.8F.. One of the most beautiful cameras ever done.. 😍 And one of the most advanced for its time! This little boy is like brand new.. I’ll be putting it to good use for a new photography project, stay tuned!
