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. Sara received her first PPSA in 2018 followed by an AFIAP and a PPSA title in 2019. Today she is the proud owner of many – national as well as international - titles, medals, awards and trophies. She was also honoured with a Blue Badge Fiap, not once but twice.

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
