Brandweer Zone Antwerpen (BZA)

As part of my foray into documentary photography, I chose the Antwerp Fire Department as my first story to document and write about. The few days I got to spend in their company proved to be a rewarding and exciting experience, having been allowed to follow the team during both their training exercises and as they responded to emergencies around the city. Above all, I got to meet a great group of people who openly welcomed me in a dynamic and professional environment that rarely receives the attention it deserves.

I would hereby like to extend my sincere thanks to the entire crew for their trust, good spirit and collaboration, particularly Kristof Geens (spokesperson of BZA), who provided me with this unique opportunity in the first place.
