About me
Papafrezzo is my artist name, a concoction of Paparazzo and Frédéric, my first name. I am a photographer from Antwerp (Belgium) currently living in Bergen (Norway). I particularly enjoy landscape and architectural photography, but my work is not restricted to these genres.

What I enjoy most on OE are the lively discussions in the Critique section; all the different viewpoints and suggestions that help me to continuously improve and stimulate me to try new things.

Best regards,
Frédéric Verhelst
