Toon Debraekeleer was born in 2003 and grew up in Beersel. He has been interested in photography and cameras from a young age. In secondary school – where he was initially headed for a career in science – he discovered his true passion in his free time: photography. Toon graduated from LUCA School of Arts, Narafi campus, in 2024 and now works as a photographer and videographer. He enjoys working with light, emotion and movement, creating images in his own distinctive style without restricting himself to a specific subject. This often results in a serene, cinematic approach. If he had to pick a favourite subject, it would be athletes and cinematic imagery – always viewed through his own distinctive lens.
