Daniel De Cort

Country: Belgium

Born in a vivid student city, Leuven (Belgium) where photography was an activity practiced lively in the family.
Very early I became a member of a photo association and later I developed my artistic skills at the SLAC (Academy of Fine Arts).
My interest in photography always is very broad: underwater photography, studio and drone photography. Now I focus me especially on travel photography, street and art photography. 
Street photography or Urban Life is the public space that became one of my main photographic subject. In this space I am searching for the human influence on the environment. I observe and shoot whatever strikes me as special, different or humorous in everyday life, thereby not losing my sense for aesthetics.
I frame my photos carefully and show a minimum of details.
Jacques Tati’s saying: “Life is funnier than any joke ever invented” inspires me.
Of the German photographer Harald Mante I have learned how to frame my pictures tightly.
During my travels I like to take pictures as a reminder of the places visited, but I always try to use my own point of view.
My photos have been accepted at various photo competitions worldwide.
I am also a member of the jury on different photo exhibitions.
Shortly after the foundation of Global Photographic Union (GPU) I became an active member and since 2020 I am also board member and treasurer.
