Dieter Demey

Dieter Demey (°1982) is an award-winning architecture and landscape photographer based in Enghien (Edingen) in the Walloon Region of Belgium, near Brussels.

Since 2024 he is active as a professional photographer, specialising in architecture, reportage, events and drone photography, alongside continuing to work on artistic projects.

His work invites us to slow down, to pay just as much attention to what is not there as to what is.
