Thomas Vandenberghe

Thomas Vandenberghe (b. 1985, Belgium) is a Belgian photographer known for his intimate, lo-fi black-and-white images. His work focuses on everyday moments, love, loss, and the quiet poetry of life. Shot on cheap film and often printed small, his photos feel fragile and deeply personal.

Vandenberghe photographs those closest to him—partners, family, and friends. His images are raw, emotional, and filled with a sense of longing. Blurred frames, soft light, and imperfections are part of his visual language.

His work stands out for its sincerity. He rejects glossy, high-resolution photography. Instead, he embraces analogue techniques, creating pictures that feel like memories—tender, intimate, and fleeting.

Vandenberghe’s zines and handmade books are central to his practice. They serve as visual journals—quiet, poetic, and tactile. He believes in photography as a form of emotional writing.

His work has been exhibited in Belgium and abroad, and recognized for its honest, minimalist style. Stieglitz19 has shown his work, supporting his position in the field of intimate and emotional photography.

Thomas Vandenberghe offers a soft, honest voice in contemporary photography. His images are not about spectacle—but about closeness, presence, and the beauty of small things.
