Reginald Van De Velde

Reginald Van de Velde (Belgium, 1975) scouts the unknown and unseen. As a devoted traveler he journeys into forsaken places all over the world, trying to capture the momentum of a fragile abandonment.

His works have been exhibited internationally in both solo & group exhibitions (see list below). He has won numerous awards including the Triennial Barbaix Award for Photography in 2008, he was winner at the Cannes Lions International Festival 2011 and was finalist at the World Photography Awards in 2011. More recently he was winner of the Juror Merit Award at the Grand Prix de la Découverte in Paris (2013), second place in the International Kontinent Photography Awards (2014) and shortlisted for the prestigious Arte Laguna Prize in Venice (2015).

His works have been featured in many publications including The World Photography Awards Book, Aesthetica Magazine, Esquire Magazine, Biennial Interior Book and Beauty in Decay to name but a few.

On many occasions Reginald has been programmed as a guest speaker on creative and inspiring sessions around Europe. National archives and libraries have listed many of Reginald's pictures from forgotten structures and interiors that have been erased permanently.
