Mania works as a neurosurgeon in the University Hospital in her hometown Antwerp, but discovered her passion for street photography during lockdown.
During her free time she strolls the streets looking for beautiful scenes, light and compositions. Solitude and minimalism are a recurring theme in her photography. A lot of her work is in black and white but she very much likes colour photography too and she’s a big Saul Leister fan.
