Talents in Photography

Morgane Gielen (1994) is a Belgium based lifestyle and fashion photographer. She focuses on creating more inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry, which she finds very important. That is also the reason why she started her own talent agency where she represents models, make-up artists and stylists that share her vision.

​

She is also the founder of the taboo-breaking collective No Babes, which gives a voice to people that are often silenced by society’s ideals. This is also the name of her very first photobook, published by Borgerhoff & Lamberigts. No Babes questions taboos through exhibitons, a podcast, videos, photoshoots, and more.

​

Next to that, she also has her own program called #nofilter in ‘Iedereen Beroemd’ where a team follows her behind the scenes of a No Babes shoot.

Biography – About Me

I’ve loved taking pictures as far back as I can remember. Capturing stunning imagesis my passion; it’s what gets me up in the morning.

90’s style fashion photography really inspires me and whether I’m shooting films, interiors, boudoirs or a product campaign, you can bet it’ll have a fashion edge to it.

Photography has taken me all around the world and enabled me to work with all types of different people and industries. What I’ve learned from it all is thatvariety IS the spice of life. It’s the heart and soul of my pictures.

I’ve photographed everything from models in New York, to beaches in South America, to temples in Bali, to diamonds in Antwerp. Each and every experience has enriched my craft in its own unique way.

I live in Antwerp, so I spend most of my downtime chasing the sun with my travelbuddy, muse and wife Ritza or playing with our goofy dogs. They’re the source of all the drive and creativity I bring to my work.

My pictures are all about beauty, power, clean lines and style and I’m always in pursuit of that next perfect image.
