Smocked Mackerel 2017
(Part off a personal fine-art project)

By the use of very simply composition and lighting, with lots of dark umber tones, i wanted to give it a painterly feeling .
Sardines ‘MARINE SPECIES ‘ 2019
(Part of a personal fine-art project)
This is an image from a personal serie ‘MARINE SPECIES ‘,
The concept for this serie of images was to capture life from the sea in a studio setting,
I used a very graphical approach, the composition & styling are minimalistic, with dark umber tones which gives it a bit of a painterly feeling.

Wesley Dombrecht
Belgium
WORK
Wesley is currently best known for his personal photography work & art-series in the fine-art / still-life genre, mostly working around food.
Through a graphic approach and elaborately staged compositions, his personal work offers the viewer a different perspective on what we eat –
utilising dramatic lighting, minimal sets and an unsaturated colour palette, what gives his images a very aesthetic appearance.
In the years he developed a signature style that you can describe as conceptual, painterly, images, often in square formats with sometimes floating objects.
STORY

He followed this passion and first started with commercial & editorial food photography, in 2015 he also took the leap towards the artistic side of photography &
