About

Portrait Serge Van Cauwenbergh © Bert Stephani - www.bertstephani.com
I’m a documentary and humanitarian photographer covering social issues and working on personal projects. I also create photo essays for NGO’s, non-profits, and humanitarian organizations. I’m based in Belgium and am available for assignments worldwide. I’m mainly a self-taught photographer, but have also completed a degree in Photography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels.

I’m interested in documenting global topics, including health care, education, environment, poverty, religion, and migration. As a visual storyteller, I want to report how everyday people are affected by what goes on around them, how they handle new opportunities, changes or disasters in their daily lives and in today’s society, and how they cope with the consequences of these circumstances.
