Luc Dratwa was born in 1958, and currently he resides in Brussels, Belgium.
This autodidact who was editor of the magazine of design and architecture “Domino”, has always had a passion for the arts. He enjoyed painting as a young man, but later turned to photography, a process he describes as finding his vocation. However, he enjoys playing the confusion between painting and photography, for example with compositions always very graphic.
To exhibit is to expose himself. It is for this reason that he waited many years before the plunge, when he finally managed to approach the rigor and quality he was looking for so long. For him, every subject he tackles is as much a story on photo paper as it is a simple photographic work. Since 2009, the city is his favorite subject, New York particularly for its multifaceted. His influences come from his experience but also his admiration for some photographers like Meyerovitch, Desiree Dolron or Saul Leiter, who photographed the streets of New York with an art of the moment and stolen instant.
