To capture a fleeting moment is one thing, but to convey an atmosphere or ambiance in images is another. With a refined eye for emotional depth, Belgian photographer Filip Van Roe reveals a world that extends far beyond his subjects alone. Van Roe has a clear knack for creating a lively sense of motion in both his commercial and personal work – even though this encompasses primarily stills.
His vision reflects that of those who seek movement in their visual storytelling, such as Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, MTV and athlete Nafi Thiam for AXA. Through his dynamic details, Filip bridges the gap between seeing and feeling – a process that is imperceptible to the audience yet exudes a powerful impact on the senses.
