Lea de Meulenaere

Hello everyone! My name is Lea De Meulenaere. I come from Belgium and was born and raised in Brussels. I changed the city for a quieter place and have been living in Kortenberg for more than 30 years. It’s a small town in the heart of Central-Brabant, situated between Brussels and Leuven. I am a Dutch language teacher for non-native speakers. I commute to Brussels every day, that way I keep the feeling with my hometown. I have many interests, but one real passion and that’s photography.

I have only been active for 6 years, and at times obsessively involved with photography. I started with simple pictures with few elements and that way my curiosity became bigger and so I got more and more interested in minimalism. In the meantime I have my own view of the world. Details are very important.

What once started as a hobby has grown into a real passion. I never leave home without a camera. The advantage of minimalism is that you don’t even have to use a big camera, with a compact one you have much more possibilities. But usually, with planned shoots I also take more material with me. I also like other aspects in photography, from architecture to nature, landscapes and street photography. I prefer to stroll a whole day in the city and search for as many elements as possible to take pictures. Sometimes I also do urbex photography because it’s the place to be for minimalism. Obviously this makes me very enthusiastic.

Thanks Ellen for allowing me to exhibit my work on this beautiful website.
