Hello,

I’m Chess, full time photographer/videomaker. I live near Ghent in Belgium, I love riding my old motorcycle, i’m happily married, father of two sons and I have a dog named Herman. 

And yes, I also speak dutch.

As a passionate photographer and filmmaker, I specialize in weddings, commercial projects, branding, and adventure photography. My work is all about telling authentic stories—whether it's the emotion of a wedding day, the essence of a brand, or the raw beauty of an adventure.

With a creative and versatile approach, I strive to capture moments that feel real, timeless, and impactful. From cinematic wedding films to striking commercial visuals, I bring a unique perspective to every project. Available worldwide, I’m ready to turn your vision into something unforgettable.

Let’s create something extraordinary together.
