Hi, I'm Mieke (or Mika, if you don’t have a clue how to pronounce this), and I am the coordinator of beroepsfotografen.be. I thrive on organizing compelling workshops, informative webinars, and inspiring events, including trips abroad. If photographers need advice, encounter problems, or have their rights violated, I am here to help, advise, and defend their rights with the authorities. I am always on the lookout for interesting topics for professional photographers, fascinating locations and exciting destinations to host new events, because I believe lifelong learning, fun, and shared experiences are essential.

Hi, I'm Femke! I might shy away from snapping photos, but give me a bunch of raw images and I'll turn them into digital masterpieces. Whether it's after editing, web design, or crafting quirky snippets, that's where my creativity shines. I'm all about turning the mundane into the magnificent.
Oh, and I love dogs & dancing.
All-round creative, structure bringer, the creative vision. Co-founder with Raïs of Narritale.
