Ixelles ponds
To combine portraiture with the neighbourhood’s architecture. I suggest working along a limited stretch of the walk, with views over the water, rather than moving between many locations.

The ponds or a garden, whichever you prefer
For a portrait or couple session in Ixelles, the ponds and Tenbosch offer two different atmospheres. For fully controlled lighting, I welcome you to the studio in Uccle at 524 rue Vanderkindere.

Prepare for your session in Ixelles
In Ixelles, two settings for two approaches to portraits
Around the Ixelles ponds, the water and façades bring the neighbourhood into your images. It is an option for an urban portrait or a couple session on a walk. I recommend agreeing on a precise meeting point rather than simply meeting ‘at the ponds’.
Tenbosch, between chaussée de Vleurgat, rue des Mélèzes and rue Hector-Denis, suits a greener setting. For a short session, it is better to choose either this garden or the ponds rather than planning both.
Indoor sessions take place in my studio in Uccle. There is no second studio in Ixelles: sessions in the municipality are arranged outdoors or, for a professional assignment, at your premises by quotation.

Location information ↗What my customers say
Faultless, both as a person and as a professional! You can feel his passion for photography every second, and the result is beautiful! Thank you for creating memories that will last a lifetime. We can't wait to have them printed on canvas and put them all around the house! See you soon! Mégane and Félix.
Honestly, Hani is an incredible photographer! As soon as you arrive at his studio, which is lovely by the way, you feel at ease. He took beautiful photographs of me, and I really recognise myself in them, which isn't always easy. He's incredibly professional and also really friendly, and that makes all the difference. His photos aren't just beautiful, they tell a story. If you're looking for someone for portraits or a photo session, go for it. You won't be disappointed. Thank you again, Hani, it's an experience I'll never forget!
Hani is a talented professional. Three of us came for a free photograph that one of us had won. Hani gave us twice the planned time and made the effort to accommodate each person's wishes. He took the time to help us feel confident and give us advice, then helped us choose from the more than 200 photos he had taken! The high-resolution photos, with black-and-white versions as a bonus, were delivered promptly! An excellent place for professional and personal photography or web presence needs. I highly recommend him.
