Deben van Damme

Hey, I’m Deben—a photographer with a soft spot for film and the little imperfections that make moments real. My work is like a visual diary, mostly shot on analog cameras because I love how film captures the world: raw, textured, and a little unpredictable.

I shoot everything from quiet portraits to stories hidden in city corners, always chasing that fleeting magic of a moment. Digital? Sure, I can do that too. But there’s something about film—the grain, the colors, the soul—that keeps me hooked.

When I’m not behind the lens, I’m playing violin with KlezmicnoiZ, finding harmony between sound and image.

Take a look around—hope you find something that stays with you.
