Photography

2. Ben Goossens was born in Liezele, Belgium and attended the St Lucas Art School
in Brussels where he studied Illustration and Photography.
After four years in Art School, illustration and photography became his obsession.
He worked in advertising for 32 years, mostly as an Art Director, where he gained
15 years of Photoshop experience. His source of inspiration in advertising came
from surrealist paintings and still does in his work now. His hobby and passion now
is creating ‘experimental/surreal photomontages’, these images are very seamless
yet painterly dreamscapes. With each shooting he tries to create his own personal
image, either simple or complex the idea behind his images is more important than
the technique. He believes that the work he makes now is a logical follow-up to
what he did professionally.
