Story
Wesley Dombrecht(1979) is a Belgium-based commercial and artistic food & still-life photographer, his love for photography and art began at young age beside his passion for food. Over the years he evolved from commercial and editorial food photography to still-life / fine-art photography & started to experiment with conceptual food images in series. His fine-art work is Internationally acclaimed and awarded.
Today, Wesley is best known for his personal photography work and ‘art-series’ in the ‘fine-art / still-life’ genre, mostly working around food. Through a graphic approach and staged compositions, his personal work offers the viewer a different perspective on food .
In the years he developed a signature style for a lot of his personal work, using dark lighting, minimal sets and an unsaturated colour palette, what gives his images a very aesthetic, painterly, appearance.
