Connection, culture, and a sense of belonging—that’s what I see through my lens every time I document an event at International House Leuven. For the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting moments that bring the city’s expat community together, from picnics for ambassadors to festivals and guided walks through Leuven.

Being part of these events is more than just photography for me—it’s about telling the story of a community. As an expat, I know how important it is to feel at home in a new place. Whether it’s knowing where to get the best fries, finding a café that feels like home, or simply knowing you have people around who make you feel less alone.

Occasionally, I also join these events without my camera, and it’s always a great experience. Every time I witness how Leuven opens its arms to newcomers, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to be part of that story.

Say Hello! I’d love to hear about our next project!
