Sara Gabriels, MPSA/2, EFIAP/b, Hon.CPE

Country: Belgium

Sara Gabriëls bought her first DSLR in 2016 and immediately enrolled in an entry level photography course. The start of an amazing adventure. By the end of 2017 she decided to try her luck in the international photography competitions. She wanted to find out if she had a place in the amateur photography world. 

A short overview:

2018: PPSA  AFIAP 

2019: AFIAP - PPSA  

2020: EFIAP - MPSA 

2021: MPSA2 - Belgium champion photography

2021: EFIAP/b

In five years she won many - national as well as international - titles, medals, awards, trophies and several blue badges. The highlight happened in 2021 when she earned the title Belgium Champion Photography.

Sara’s first love is night photography. However today she equally finds pleasure in portrait photography, street photography and macro as well. She is driven and doesn’t rest once she sets her mind to it. Sara operates from the heart. Her images don’t need further explanation. The image is the story brought with an honesty, purity and openness that is so typical for this photographer. Every image must connect with the photographer before being published. Without this ‘seal of approval’ the image holds no value for Sara and doesn’t get to see ‘the light of day’.

Sara challenges herself every day and is a firm believer that things can always be better. This commitment to perfection keeps her focused and dedicated, both qualities of a true photographer."
