Who is Particles?
Particles is a collective of passionate, artistic and driven photographers. Specialised in creative underwater photography which translates into fantasy and mythology-based imagery. Through our portfolio, the public is offered a glimpse into this silent realm. By placing the subject in a weightless dimension, the viewer enters a state of suspended reality. Being underwater takes away one’s ability to breathe, triggering the need to struggle for life, or emphasising the lack of that struggle. Water is ambiguous, representing life and death in various cultures. Thus connecting both audience and subject to their most primordial emotions; desire to survive and the urge to surrender. We invite you to enjoy these stirring images, to let them enchant you in daily life.

THE TEAM
Seppe Van Buggenhout
Photographer Seppe is very skilled at classic photography, he loves making black and white analogue underwater images. His pictures will be exclusively printed using manual techniques. Video is his second love, for future art installations we will combine video and photography. |
Catherine Jane Robertson
Photographer Storytelling is one of her many strong points, creating a mood may be the most prominent. Be it the darker side of human emotions or conveying a sense of youthful hope. She derives inspiration from literature, myth and life. |
Ellie Van den Brande
Photographer Not afraid of searching for edges, either sharp or blunt, looking for angles and playing hard on social criticism. Next to that she is very fond of fantasy, folklore and classical art as base for her photography. |
Nils Missorten
Theatrical Make-up and special effects Wonderfully talented at theatrical make-up, "Milopunk" truly is an all-round artist. He paints on canvas and on models and tackles any visual challenge with great ease. He is always in for creating magical goodies for the Particles crew to shoot. |
Sylvie de Boes
Fashion hairstyling and Make-up Sylvie became part of the family after numerous shootings, this girl is educated by B-academy and is rapidly evolving to be an expert at underwater make-up. She loves high-fashion looks and isn't afraid to try out all kinds of new techniques. It is such a breeze to work with her. Professional, mostly upbeat and thinking with the team. |
