Marc Apers, born in 1958 in Antwerp, passionate free-lance photographer , self-taught. Took his first shots during his honeymoon in 1981. After years of photographing only during his annual holiday trip, he joined a local photo club in 1986.  At that time, his photo work still consisted mainly of architecture and street photography.  Gradually, his interest shifted to black-and-white photography and he focused mainly on portraits taken during his trips to Africa. His passion gained momentum when he joined a new group of photographers in Duffel-Belgium, a club he is still a member of today.His work has continued to evolve into what it is today; from now on, he always departs from a certain concept and looks for situations in everyday reality that reflect his idea in individual photos.
