STEVEN THOELEN
The outside world defines him as an artistic and eccentric photographer;
he prefers to describe himself as a 'storyteller.'
"I am a set designer, screenwriter, director, prop master, and stylist all in one," says the Belgian artist. His passion? Creating tableaux vivants.
His distinctive photography is etched as a unique moment in life, the brief span of a few seconds between dreaming and awakening.
He crafts images that resemble film stills—scenes that tread the line between fantasy and reality. It's high time for a visit to the modern version of Peter Pan: adventurous, a tad bit cheeky, but above all, a good man.
