Karel Fonteyne - Spell

Introducing Karel Fonteyne, one of Belgium's foremost contemporary and fashion photographers. Since 1968 the artist has created an extensive oeuvre that has its place in the history of photography. His timeless visual storytelling relates to nature, darkness and loneliness, the inner world, and esotericism, while touching uncovered dimensions. For more than 15 years Fonteyne was active as a fashion photographer, breaking boundaries by introducing his narrative approach as contemporary artist in the traditional fashion world. He had early collaborations with Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck and Dirk Bikkembergs, and internationally he collaborated with Vogue, Interview, Bazaar, Marie-Claire or Brutus Magazine in Japan. In 1996 he decided to concentrate on his practice as contemporary artist.

“I usually don’t photograph what I see but how my mind reflects it”.
