ABOUT:
Michel Jerome Eliane Marie DeLaeter aka MJEMDL was born in Belgium and grew up in Bruges and around the Nord Sea coast. He got interested in architecture, design, fashion, contemporary art and preforming arts in the course of secondary school. During his study and degree in interior architecture at the Hoger Architectuurinstituut Sint-Lucas Ghent he started photographing, did travel a lot and graduated with an artists residence project.
In his graduating thesis he made a portrait of the architect Stéphane Beel and his work.
After finishing his study he worked 17 consecutive years for The gallery Mourmans in Maastricht & Knokke-le-Zoute.
Through these years in which he could travel a lot, he met and photographed a lot of architects, artist and exhibitions.
He self-studied, followed analogue photography courses and workshops at KISP, Mariakerke (1999-2003) and became more and more passionated by analogue and digital photography. Luckily he could test his skills on the art, designs and architecture of Gaetano Pesce, Etttore Sottsass Jr. , Allen Jones, Ron Arad and many more...
Connecting different creative subjects through imaging was the logical consequence of this trip.
It was an organic growing path in which he followed his perceiving, analytical mind and his obstinate will to perfectionate.
Since 2010 Michel teached in both disciplines.
From 2011 till 2016 Michel was the Head of Program and Program coordinator for the Master of Interior Architecture @ Highschool WENK 2011, LUCA 2012 and the Faculty of Architecture at the KULeuven University in Ghent and Brussels 2013-2015. From October 2015 till June 2017 he lectured in diverse photographic courses at the KISP education platform in Ghent, Deinze, Mariakerke and Aalter.
"I often work with Leica M en R analog camera’s because of their unique bright lenses system. I'm extremely keen on color film and also black and white analogue photography. Also every tool that makes pictures is important to sharpen your skills. That's the reason why I 'm an Instagram lover, you only need a phonecamera! Film developing and the printing with enlargers in the dark room are still very present in my work. This because it’s a completely different and a much more 'pleasing magical métier' in processing comparing to the generally used adobe photoshop and lightroom manipulated approach.
Although digital camera's and photo processing programs are of course not banned in my work. And special wide angle lenses as the 17mm and 24mm TS/E tilt-shift are my favorite tools in interior and architecture photography.
"I like to photograph randomly and all the time. Lately when it's even more and more digital. I love extreme light conditions. I also like to show real life situations without people where any imperfection is natural."
Doe je een beroep op mij als fotograaf, dan stel ik het volgende voor:
Indien je interesse hebt in een digitale fotoshoot, hetzij een portretreeks, of een architectuur- en/of interieurreportage, of een opdracht tentoonstellingsfotografie. Neem dan best contact op via mail: MJEMDL@GMAIL.COM of telefonisch +32 (0)474 343 435 voor een afspraak en bespreking.
Specifieke offertes worden op maat gemaakt en steeds in onderling overleg besproken.
Wens je een authentieke analoge opname op Zwart Wit film en een idem dito analoge Zwart Wit fotoafdruk, dan ben je ook bij mij aan het juiste adres.

Concerning Business:
If you want to order an assignment, or if you have specific demands about photographic solutions: my photowork is mostly specialised in architecture-, interior- and exhibition reportage photography, but I do also have demands for portaits.
Any information about prices is given in mutual agreement and I make you a customized quotation before we take off.
