Frederik Heyman

Super creative and imaginative photographer to me his reminiscent of Erwin Blumenfeld, Frederik is from Belgium, he studied photography and illustration at the Antwerp academy and he already has behind him a very interesting trajectory in fashion photography. He crafts the sceneries for his photos and his vivid colors and surreal references give a level of carefree vibe to his work. Frederik’s creative world is full of little surprises.

Theres always something happening in his photos which add a sence of narrative or a story being told. Frederik works has a long process hidden behind it since he prepares himself all of the sets. He explains to Yatzer “Building myself the set has as a consequence that images, especially the ones for my personal projects, can take a lot of time to be created. The set building can take up to two weeks for a single image. I carefully construct each little part of the puzzle. I usually start from a main graphic idea or element, and then I start imagining the mood and the story based on this element. My next step is to build a world, to create a certain atmosphere. I love the interaction of extra elements one can have. It is a challenge to make all the elements fit together: the image, the models, the styling, the set... but it is extremely interesting to find consensuses and achieve what I had in my mind in the beginning of the story.”
