Photographe theater at Espace magh
Located in the heart of Brussels, Espace Magh is a multidisciplinary cultural centre dedicated to artistic expression, intercultural dialogue and social engagement. The venue hosts theatre performances, exhibitions, concerts, debates and community events, providing a platform for diverse voices and contemporary creativity. Known for its strong cultural identity, Espace Magh plays an important role in Brussels’ artistic landscape by connecting communities through culture and performance.
For five years, I had the privilege of working as a theatre photographer. The Espace Magh is a vibrant cultural hub.
Capturing performances in this intimate and quiet space was both a challenge and an inspiration: the theatre environment required me to work without flash, relying entirely on natural and stage lighting to convey the emotion and energy of each moment.
This experience taught me patience, precision, and a deep respect for performers and audiences alike. Every shot had to tell a story, capture the atmosphere, and honour the artistry on stage, all while remaining unobtrusive.
Working in this context sharpened my eye for detail, timing, and composition, and deepened my understanding of the subtleties of live performance photography.
