Filip Naudts (1968) began his career working for the Belgian national
television and press in 1992. The following year, he was employed by the
Antwerp Fotomuseum, where he remained until 2002. In 1993 he founded his
own photo studio Guarda La Fotografia, where he quickly developed his
own poetic style, often referring to the portrait paintings of the
Flemish primitives. From 2002 to 2006 he was photo editor of the Dutch
professional photo magazine Foto. In 2006 he started his career as a
full-time freelance photographer. A landmark moment in his photographic
career was a solo exhibition of his work in the National Technical
Museum in Prague (2000). His work has been published in magazines both
nationally and internationally. Filip Naudts is probably one of the most
compelling, thought-provoking photographing artists of his country and
generation. Fascinated by portraying beauty and at the same time, by
adding a small humorous often surreal element to the image, showing the
relativity of beauty.
