Hi, my name is Benina and I’m a visual artist and photographer based in Leuven.
Over the years I have made many projects about different topics. I’ve made a deeply personal work about family and (dis)connection. But I’ve also made more photodocumentary work heavily based on research.
Nowadays I’d rather define myself as a creative who likes to express herself using different media. Be it photography, which is still the medium I’m most confident in, but also video and music. Professionally I photograph events, performances and weddings. Personally, I photograph whatever catches my eye using my analog camera.
