Jeroen Hanselaer

Photographer

Jeroen Hanselaer is a Belgian photographer whose work spans the full spectrum of the medium—from fashion campaigns and commercial projects to UN humanitarian assignments, portraiture, and intimate documentary series. Over 26 years, he has built a practice defined not by genre but by a consistent conviction: that every subject, regardless of context, deserves to be seen with the same precision, respect, and refusal to look away.
His career began in fashion photography, where he developed an eye for composition, light, and narrative clarity. That aesthetic discipline never left—it simply found new applications. The same attention to line and frame that shapes a fashion image now serves a portrait of a Michelin-starred chef's work, a humanitarian project in Chad's Sahel region, or a five-minute session with Monica Bellucci in a hotel room. The context changes. The photographer doesn't.
Manager of the Leica Akademie Belgium & Luxembourg since 2026, Hanselaer leads workshops and educational programs for photographers at all levels. His work has been exhibited internationally and published in three monographs: Restless (2015), Fernweh (2019), and Monsieur Portrait (2021). His documentary series Visages du Sahel, created in partnership with German and French development organizations, has been shown at galleries in Ghent and Antwerp and contributed to securing continued funding for climate adaptation projects in Central Africa.
What drives the work has remained constant: an instinct for what is real, a commitment to finding beauty without hiding truth, and the belief that the camera is as much a political instrument as it is an aesthetic one. Whether the assignment comes from a fashion house, a newspaper, or the United Nations, the question is always the same—how do you capture someone's truth while respecting their dignity?
