Hi there, I am Lies

Also known as 'Contentemens'. Photographer, videographer and storyteller based in Belgium.

I've been passionate about photography since I was a kid.
A passion I inherited from my mother, who showed me that it's totally worth dragging a heavy camera along, whether on a breathtaking hiking trip, or just a simple walk around the block.To capture memories and touches of light like I felt them right there and then. To craft those images in postproduction to make them even more personal. To honor how we all have a unique set of eyes, that see and experience things differently.I've experimented with different subjects and the variation in what I photograph plays an important role for me, because it keeps me challenged. I am naturally more drawn to the outdoors, and if I would have to pick a common theme in my photos, it would be 'warmth'. But I'll let you discover for yourself.On this website you can find out if I am the photographer for you. You can buy wall art, check if I shot you during a surf session, and browse through my portfolio.Enjoy and thank you for supporting my work!

What can I do for you?

Buy wall art

Do you want to add a little warmth to your home or office? You're in the right spot. A selection of my images is available on print, in several materials..

When I feel like trading my surfboard for my camera, I sometimes photograph others surfing. You might have surfed in front of my lens if I was out that day.

It's hard to describe my photography, as I photograph a lot of different things and do not focus on a niche. If I have to pick a common theme: Warmth.

My services for businesses

Besides photographing for people, and for creative purposes, I also help organisations and small businesses create content and tell their story to the world. With images ofcourse, but there's more.
