The weekend before last I was invited to for the very first edition of the Modern Classic Cup Belgium. A premiere for the Belgian aufguss community, and an honour to be there to document it.

A huge thank you to opgiet@opgietersverenigingbelgie for the continued trust and cooperation, and to for organising this event from the ground up and for the generous sponsorship. Running a competition while backing it with three of your own companies is no small thing!

Big thanks as well to the team at Thermen Dilbeek for hosting this kick off edition. First time organising an event like this, and they made it look easy.

To all participants, thank you for taking the time before your sessions to shoot with me. It was a pleasure to meet you all! An extra congratulations to my man Bart for taking the inaugural title with his passionate and very high level performance!

Here's a few of my favorite shots from the weekend.

Last weekend I was back at for Solemar & Friends, the second year in a row I was invited to photograph this event. Always a pleasure to return to a place that makes you feel so welcome the moment you walk in.

Huge thank you to the team at Solemar for putting together such a great event. The atmosphere you create speaks for itself.

To all the saunamasters, thank you for the time you gave me between sessions and for the dedication you bring into the sauna. So great to shoot with all of you.
Here's a little snapshot of the atmosphere from the weekend.

Last weekend I documented the Belgian Show Aufguss Championship Aufguss BK in Waer Waters. I've been sponsoring this event for the last 3 years with graphic design and photography work because I truly enjoy it and wanted to help lift its image as much as I can. Being back where it started for me and getting the chance to shoot with all these talented people is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding jobs I do, so I want to express my gratitude to all the people who made this event into what it turned out to be. Huge thank you to Opgietersvereniging België
for the continued trust and cooperation. Great to see how things evolved from trying to cool the technical room with frozen buckets of water and ventilators in 2022 to taking pictures in the same room next to Jimmy, smoothly taking care of the DMX in an air-conditioned room. www.learnquickdmx.com

Thank you Waer Waters and staff for your hospitality, amazing atmosphere, professionalism and the air conditioner. I love taking pictures at your beautiful wellness.

Huge thank you to all contenders for their passion and dedication and for taking some time with me for some photos. Always great to reconnect with familiar faces and to meet the new people taking on this challenge. I salute you all and I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the future!

Thanks to all my fellow sponsors for making this event possible: Dimitri De Ryckx Algemene tegelwerken The White Oak Asanti Sammy Gallee Pirts Spirit Aromen Aromatherapy Saunamasters.com, Saunagut, Romana, Con Tigo Gent, SpaSoul & Wooden Toolz,
