Born in 1976, Bruno V. Roels lives and works in Ghent, in Belgium, where he shares his time between writing and photography. Considering the printing process - i.e. the transformation of a photograph into a tangible object - as important as the act of photographing itself, his work is marked by his desire to escape the "tyranny" of traditional photography.
Freed from the search for the perfect film print, Roels prefers to give value to all the versions of a photograph that he arranges in a unique composition. To deliver his vision of the aesthetics of an image, he's seeking poetry and photographic truth, in sequences and fluctuations. The details of his photographs like those of the series "A Guide to Cherry Blossoms" are as many subjects and artistic motives for his printed works as a puzzle of elements sublimated by his printing techniques.
