Hi, I'm Bruno van de Voorde, an analog landscape photographer with a passion for capturing the raw beauty of the world. Born in Brussels in November 1994, my journey has taken me across vibrant cities like Berlin and Tokyo, where my passion for art and visual storytelling was born.
Japan’s serene landscapes and its deep respect for simplicity and nature sparked my love for photography. As a child, I was captivated by the energy of Akihabara Electric Town, where my fascination with cameras began. Though I initially focused on videography, in 2019, I transitioned to still photography, a decision that profoundly changed my creative direction.
The pandemic introduced me to the world of analog photography. The tactile process of developing and printing film offered a profound experience, far different from digital. I now split my time between both formats, constantly exploring how each medium uniquely captures the world.
Outside photography, I’ve pursued a medical degree in Leuven, Belgium.
This video, shot by the brilliant Guillaume Zhang, highlights my work as an analog landscape photographer.
In our fast-paced world, dominated by noise, productivity, and pressure, we’ve forgotten how to take a breather and watch. There is so much beauty around us, yet often we don’t have the state of mind to marvel at it. Photography taught me to do exactly that again — to stand still, absorb, and observe. In my work, you’ll notice a focus on creating calm, serene compositions, avoiding action-packed scenes that overwhelm the senses.
More than capturing a moment, by creating this site, I also invite you to slow down and take your time. Instagram and social media have conditioned us to scroll past images quickly, to crave instant appeal. Editing thrives on these platforms because regular, unedited pictures are no longer "enough." Think about it: how often do you pause for more than a few seconds on a post? How often do you zoom in to admire a detail?
This website is my antidote to that fast-paced consumption. It’s designed as a quiet, reflective exhibition. I encourage you to stroll through its pages as you would in a gallery, pausing at a photo to simply enjoy its beauty before moving on. Take your time — these moments deserve to be savored.
