Photographer Marc T. left Antwerp for London at a very young age, where he started working as an assistant for Cecil Beaton, known for his fashion photos and celebrity portraits. After Beaton's death in 1980, Marc T. worked as a freelancer for several British magazines such as 'The Face' and 'New Musical Express', and he also got a contract with Warner Bros UK. Afterwards he went to Italy where he worked for the "Corriere Della Sera" and became friends with columnist/editor, Alessio Gaggioli, who provides the epilogue in this book. After a long absence of more than 30 years, Marc T. returned to Belgium. 'MOMENTS' is primarily a reaction to that return to Belgium. Because he has not maintained any contact during his absence, he feels like a foreigner in his own country. People who continue to live in the same place do not see the big changes around them in the same way as someone who has been away for years. And he had to do something with that. Marc T. started traveling through Belgium, where only the rediscovery mattered at that point in time. But without any nostalgia. It was certainly not a search for a loss. Every photo, every moment in this book tells its own story, captured by the eye of a local stranger .
