ANTOINE BONGERS My daily work is as a baker, and during the season I also work as an ice cream maker. I am married and the father of three children. As a child I was already fascinated by photography, but it was mostly limited to the familiar mushrooms, landscapes, and family photos. With the advent of digital photography, this hobby was given new life and I began photographing more and more. I am a great music lover and started attending concerts more frequently. During a liberation festival I brought a camera with me, and a new passion was born: concert photography. Through a platform I began applying for accreditations, and I was able to join the team of in-house photographers at the De Bosuil music venue. As a result, I have had the opportunity to photograph many concerts and festivals, which I still do with great passion and enjoyment. Out of curiosity, I followed a workshop in model photography, and this “virus” also caught hold of me. Besides concert photography, I greatly enjoy working on model photography and collaborating to achieve beautiful results. I have access to my own studio and am a member of the photography group Gotcha, which focuses exclusively on model photography. Each time, we work out a specific theme and then look for suitable models. By attending workshops, I have been able to expand my knowledge and discover new techniques. This is how I also came into contact with KI and CCC FotoUnie. By viewing the work of other photographers and visiting exhibitions, I try to broaden my vision. Hopefully, I will be able to enjoy this wonderful hobby for many years to come.
