Nostalgie Pelsener
To photograph is to hold your breath.
I’m a self-taught photographer currently based in Brussels, Belgium. Born next to the ocean, I grew up in the Belgian countryside, in the midst of forests and ponds. I have always found both fascination and shelter in the natural world. As I became older, the Ocean caught up to me and so my passion for marine life grew stronger every day.
Freediving has shaped my vision. Slowness, silence and presence guide my photography. Whether it’s in the stillness of a mountain, the rawness of a gannet or the grace of a freediver, every image is born from the same breath.
