Valery Lippens (b. 1972 – Belgian)

Valery Lippens was born with a camera in his crib being the son of a prominent
Belgian photographer. Valery has extensively traveled the world documenting life’s
most mundane moments in a unique, transformative way.

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 tohis images for
a documentary about Vietnam Veterans, and from his collagesfor 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.
