About Me

I’m Bert Verstrepen, born in Dendermonde (April 16, 1977), and working as a fine-art photographer with a focus on street photography, architecture, and cityscapes. My work is characterized by strong contrasts, geometric compositions, and a black-and-white aesthetic with a touch of surreal atmosphere.

My passion for photography began at an early age: during family trips, I started capturing cities and landscapes, and soon realized that the click of the shutter resonated more deeply with me than pencil lines on paper. Over the years, I developed my own visual language — one in which low light, urban scenes, and the interplay of lines and shadows take center stage.

Architecture runs like a common thread through my work — for me, it represents the physical translation of human energy and urban rhythm. In my projects, I aim not only to show what a building is, but also how it relates to its surroundings, to the fleeting light that escapes the eye, and to the silence of an evening cityscape.

My work has received international recognition: in 2017, the Saatchi Gallery (London) selected my photograph “The Thames Barrier” for exhibition. I’ve also received multiple Honorable Mentions at the Monochrome Photography Awards in the categories of architecture and street photography.

Are you looking for a photographer who dares to think beyond the usual clichés of city or architectural imagery? Someone who captures the unexpected moment and the hidden composition?

Feel free to get in touch — I’d be happy to discuss your project, location, or concept, and explore how we can create a visual journey that is both aesthetically powerful and strategically effective.
