Photographing his way through a law degree from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, a Political Science BA from Columbia University in NYC, and more recently a Post Graduate Certificate in Professional Photography - with a Distinction - from Central Saint Martins in London, Valery Lippens has elegantly surprised and touched his subjects with a unique magnification of their most subtle qualities.
Throughout the years, Valery has worked collaboratively and individually on a variety of shows demonstrating his singular talent for understanding his subjects: ranging from his collection of “ephemeral” photographs about urban decay to his images for a documentary about Vietnam Veterans, and from his collages for Handicap International’s group show to his most recent “Haecceity Series” that challenges the traditional individual picture making by exploring the realm of multiple frames.
