Each composition holds an intimate and timeless history.<\/span><\/p>\nIn recent years, she gained international fame with these Tableaux Vivants. Carine Van Gerven shows not only man as an individual, but also businesses, occasions, groups, ideas or relevant social themes.<\/span><\/p>\nShe uncovers subtitle links with a lot of empathy and symbolism and uncovers a story behind each composition.<\/span><\/p>\nSome of her images <\/span>have been exhibited in <\/span>Galerie Paul Janssen in Saint-Tropez, France.<\/span><\/p>\nIn 2022, she achieved the highly coveted title of QEP – Qualified European Photographer with the FEP – Federation of European Professional Photographers.<\/span><\/p>\nIn 2023, she was selected by Team Belgium for the 5th time for the WPC – the World Photographic Cup.<\/span><\/p>\nAs a guest photographer for Lens op de Mens 2023, she will show a selection from her rich oeuvre of Tableaux Vivants<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\nwww.carinevangerven.be<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Visual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.

Usually people just look after a photo. People rarely look into it.”<\/p>\n

\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\n
These days, I am especially fascinated and inspired by the multicultural society around me. We can learn from each other, inspire and love each other. Often my themes play out on the borderland of culture and identity. The world is constantly changing and so are the people who live on it. For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n
I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries. And create work on commission and with the help of scholarships and grants. I mainly make free work.<\/p>\n
The portraits I am showing in Pelt are all strong women living in Hasselt, namely : Sim, Hava & Heda, Petimat, Chris & Sheymaa.<\/p>\n

The jury | Zjuul Devens (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\nVisual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.
Photography and art are a part of his life for him.<\/p>\n

The jury | Carla Kogelman (NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\n
These days, I am especially fascinated and inspired by the multicultural society around me. We can learn from each other, inspire and love each other. Often my themes play out on the borderland of culture and identity. The world is constantly changing and so are the people who live on it. For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n
I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries. And create work on commission and with the help of scholarships and grants. I mainly make free work.<\/p>\n
The portraits I am showing in Pelt are all strong women living in Hasselt, namely : Sim, Hava & Heda, Petimat, Chris & Sheymaa.<\/p>\n

The jury | Zjuul Devens (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\nVisual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.
Photography and art are a part of his life for him.<\/p>\n

The jury | Carla Kogelman (NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\n
These days, I am especially fascinated and inspired by the multicultural society around me. We can learn from each other, inspire and love each other. Often my themes play out on the borderland of culture and identity. The world is constantly changing and so are the people who live on it. For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n
I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries. And create work on commission and with the help of scholarships and grants. I mainly make free work.<\/p>\n
The portraits I am showing in Pelt are all strong women living in Hasselt, namely : Sim, Hava & Heda, Petimat, Chris & Sheymaa.<\/p>\n

The jury | Zjuul Devens (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\nVisual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.

The jury | Carla Kogelman (NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\n
These days, I am especially fascinated and inspired by the multicultural society around me. We can learn from each other, inspire and love each other. Often my themes play out on the borderland of culture and identity. The world is constantly changing and so are the people who live on it. For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n
I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries. And create work on commission and with the help of scholarships and grants. I mainly make free work.<\/p>\n
The portraits I am showing in Pelt are all strong women living in Hasselt, namely : Sim, Hava & Heda, Petimat, Chris & Sheymaa.<\/p>\n

The jury | Zjuul Devens (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\nVisual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.
Photography and art are a part of his life for him.<\/p>\n

The jury | Carla Kogelman (NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\n
These days, I am especially fascinated and inspired by the multicultural society around me. We can learn from each other, inspire and love each other. Often my themes play out on the borderland of culture and identity. The world is constantly changing and so are the people who live on it. For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n
I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries. And create work on commission and with the help of scholarships and grants. I mainly make free work.<\/p>\n
The portraits I am showing in Pelt are all strong women living in Hasselt, namely : Sim, Hava & Heda, Petimat, Chris & Sheymaa.<\/p>\n

The jury | Zjuul Devens (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\nVisual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.
Photography and art are a part of his life for him.<\/p>\n

The jury | Carla Kogelman (NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\n
These days, I am especially fascinated and inspired by the multicultural society around me. We can learn from each other, inspire and love each other. Often my themes play out on the borderland of culture and identity. The world is constantly changing and so are the people who live on it. For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n
I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries. And create work on commission and with the help of scholarships and grants. I mainly make free work.<\/p>\n
The portraits I am showing in Pelt are all strong women living in Hasselt, namely : Sim, Hava & Heda, Petimat, Chris & Sheymaa.<\/p>\n

For some time now, I have been working not only with images but also with text. Even more than an image, text gives meaning and direction to the theme and the individual.<\/p>\n I often participate in competitions. Since 2012, I have won: 2 x a first prize at the World Press Photo, 12 x a prize at the Silver Camera, 1 x the Happiness on the Move Award, 2 x the Alfred Fried Award and numerous other awards. I photograph, teach classes, lectures, workshops and master classes, supervise and coach students, participate in competition juries.

The jury | Johan Brouwers, chairman (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
I like to capture the image of people as they occur spontaneously. No deliberate or requested poses. Snapshots in which their glance, their attitude often tells a lot about what they think, including me.<\/p>\nThe jury | Caroline Alida (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Caroline Alida was een van de \u00a0van Lens op de Mens 2019. Haar werk was te bewonderen in het Maria-Ziekenhuis Noorderlicht.<\/p>\n
Over a dozen years, Caroline Alida had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with these extraordinary people. She gained their trust to be able to make these portraits. For this, she traversed Niger from north to south.<\/p>\nThe jury | Zjuul Devens (BEL)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Visual artist, photographer, cinematographer, Master of Visual Arts and Photography.
He was a lecturer in audiovisual communication and multimedia at the Plantijn Hogeschool of the Province of Antwerp, Department of Communication Management.
He exhibits both at home and abroad, individually and in groups. This is done with photographic work, video installations, slide projections, video, as well as sculpture and installations. He also works with and for other image artists, dancers, musicians, theatre makers.
As a professional photographer, he was a do-everything devil. Working for the diamond industry gave birth to his passion for macro photography. Now, he is mostly into the theme of impermanence. Dead half-dead insects he likes to give a ‘new life’.
As a volunteer for Child Help, he also photographs and films in Africa. There he discovered a love for documentary photography.
Photography and art are a part of his life for him.<\/p>\nThe jury | Andy Hens (BEL\/DEU)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
“To disclose the nature of man through photographs, that is the highest art of photography.
Usually people just look after a photo. People rarely look into it.”<\/p>\nThe jury | Carla Kogelman (NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\u200bI am a storyteller. Besides my fascination with backstage subjects in theatre, arts, culture and sports, I mainly focus my lens on ordinary people. As a documentary and portrait photographer, I am in search of who they are and their identity.
I find it valuable to be able to meet people, to get close so that a bond develops. Mutual trust produces intimate images. The portraits are an illustration of everyday life and depict emotion and how people are in life. I like long-term projects. I have always travelled a lot. I loved interacting and meeting other cultures not as a tourist but as an impresario. I find it valuable to focus on the human-environment relationship. A portrait in an environment. A documentary portrait.<\/p>\nThe jury | Jim Lowe (GBR)<\/strong><\/h4>\n

After graduating from Swansea College of Art, he was employed as an in-house photographer by the Ministry of Defence in London, then worked for six years in the photographic section of Portsmouth Polytechnic leaving as Head of the Department, finally joining the Westinghouse Brake and Signal engineering company, part of the Hawker Siddeley Engineering Corporation as Chief Photographer, which involved assignments in Hong Kong, Zimbabwe and America.<\/p>\nDe jury | Carol Olerud (AUS\/NLD)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
