Illias Teirlinck is a Brussels-based documentary photographer who loves to break out of the pigeonhole. It wouldn't be unusual for Illias to spend his day making portraits at the public library, then shift to photographing stills for a theater production, and later that night, observe demolition work with the same keen eye. A constant theme in his work is the authentic connection with the people he photographs; never staged, always with genuine interest. Whether up close or from a distance, his images convey an intimate proximity to his subjects.

“Illias Teirlinck’s photography is about something as weird, edgy and different as the subjects he got standing before his lens.” - VICE
