CHARLOTTE VAN HECKE
AS A BELGIAN NATIVE, I ALWAYS FELT RESTLESS AND IN SEARCH OF SOMETHING TO GIVE THIS LIFE PURPOSE.
SURROUNDED BY A FAMILY OF ENTREPRENEURS, I FELT THE URGE TO START MY OWN BUSINESS FROM A YOUNG AGE.
MY GRANDMOTHER HAD HER OWN RETAIL SHOP IN CLOTHING AND MY GRANDFATHER STARTED HIS SUCCESFUL METALWORKING COMPANY FROM SCRATCH.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO EXPLORE NEW HORIZONS, MEET NEW PEOPLE AND PHOTOGRAPH THE BEAUTY FROM EVERY SUBJECT IN FRONT OF MY LENS.
SINCE I WAS A KID, BORN WITH A FASHION BACKGROUND, MY PURE AND FOREMOST PASSIONS STILL ARE FASHION, ART AND RACING. I FOUND THE MEDIUM PHOTOGRAPHY THE MOST INTERESTING TO TRANSLATE MY PASSIONS INTO MY OWN CREATION.
SO THE ADVENTURE STARTED AROUND THE AGE OF 15 WHERE MY GRANDFATHER HAD TO DRIVE ME AROUND TO FIND NEW LOCATIONS TO SHOOT ALL SORTS OF FRIENDS WHO BECAME MY FIRST SUBJECTS.
DURING MY STUDIES AT SINT-LUKAS BRUSSELS I HAVE LEARNED TO LOOK AT MY SURROUNDINGS FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. WITH ALOT OF NEW INPUT GATHERED AND SEVERAL REFERENCES WHO INSPIRED ME DURING MY JOURNEY, I LEFT SCHOOL AFTER 4 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY COLLEGE AND STARTED MY OWN PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS.
I LOVE TAKING ON NEW JOBS BECAUSE IT BRINGS NEW CHALLENGES TO LEARN FROM AND TO OVERCOME.
I’M THANKFUL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE I GOT TO MEET DURING THIS NEVER ENDING JOURNEY.
I INTEND TO CONTINUE WITH MY LOVE AND LIFE IN ART UNTILL I CAN NO LONGER HOLD A CAMERA IN MY HANDS.
