Mijn naam is Ludwig Desmet, ik ben in 1970 geboren in West Vlaanderen. Ik ben sedert 1997 gehuwd met Nathalie en heb 2 jongvolwassen zonen. In mijn hoofdberoep geef ik avondles fotografie aan volwassenen. Dit is een voor mij zeer dankbare job, die me tegelijk veel voldoening geeft én toch ook ruimte laat voor het maken van eigen werk. De combinatie van beide is een mooi geschenk.
Ik hou intens veel van de vrouwelijke natuur en de vrouwelijke vormen. Ik hou ervan om met de camera de vrouw in beeld te brengen, dit is onafhankelijk hoe mijn onderwerp zich voelt voor de camera. Dit kan gaan van timide, onzeker, twijfelend, over zelfbewust, zelfzeker, trots, tot uitdagend, prikkelend, erotisch.
Ik beschouw het als mijn taak jouw ‘zijn’ op een zo integer mogelijke manier in beeld te brengen. Ik zal je ook altijd vragen of dat voor jou betekent ‘eerlijk’, of ‘flatterend’ of dat je nog andere wensen hebt over hoe jij graag in beeld zou komen. Ik zal zelf bijsturen als je dat leuk vind, ik zal me onzichtbaar opstellen als je dat liever hebt.
Hieronder kan je een video bekijken waarin ik een beetje over mezelf vertel (Engelstalig) en waarin je me ook aan het werk kan zien met een model.
Naast werk met cliëntes doe ik ook fotografie met modellen, voor m’n eigen vrije werk. Het is voornamelijk dit werk wat hier op deze site te zien is. Het werken met modellen heeft het voordeel dat ik de beelden publiek kan tonen. Werk met cliënten is per definitie privé.
Mijn vrije werk stel ik ook tentoon, hieronder een overzicht van de voorbije tentoonstellingen, in groep of individueel:

I nominated you for ‘The Versatile Blogger Award’. If you don’t now what it is, it will make sense.

Nice work Ludwig. Your talent never ceases to amaze!
Hey thank you Eduardo, thought you had disappeared from this planet, but heck, you just turned up again. Will check in on your FB account if you don’t mind.
I too think the Blogs have the potential to be more interesting than websits simply by being present. I will follow with enthusiasm.
Thank you windhound, I’ll do my best to make it as worthwhile!
I especially like your set-up articles. Very helpful. Are you making any money with your photography?
Thank you, as I work not often in a studio, these are rather rare. I’ll try to include some set-up information on my natural beauty shoots soon. At this moment, I make money from photography with my corporate clients (www.renderhouse.eu) and with teaching. This blog is mostly free work, and I want to keep it that way for a while. Free in meaning I can do whatever I want, without having to respond to a customer’s point of view on things. It happens I get asked for this kind of work, and of course I will not refuse. Mostly customers that ask for it are very much ok with my style 😉
I totally understand keeping at least some of your work free from outside influences. I do mostly outdoor work, but would like to try my hand with some of the types of work you do in the studio and on location. I really like your mansion shoots. What a great location!
Sir

Dont be cheap. Spend proper money to get a proper website. Let me help you.

Hi thank you for your help, but no thanks. I have been selling images only to known customers as artistic work, never online, and apparently my customers do find me. I do believe in a slow paced evolution towards artistic excellency and fame … so no worries, and thank you for the complement on my work.
Magnifique! Bravo!
