I am Jan Verbeke, living in Belgium. I'm not a professional (yet). To get closer to what professionals do, I'm following a 3 years course now.
I've always been fascinated by pictures. Maybe that's a cliche, but I'm curious to know what people (=photographers) feel just before they take a picture and why they take a picture. It's not easy to let people feel what you feel as a photographer.
You can even go further as a photographer, and try to bring about a certain feeling.
