Dhooghe's photography is either very colorful, or dramatic Black and White. Her international experience obtained by living in different countries: Belgium, Spain, and currently the US, together with her extensive travels, inspires her in different ways and enables her to have a broader look on art itself. She loves to work with diverse backgrounds and nationalities and uses her language knowledge (Dutch, Spanish, French, German, English, Italian, Portuguese and also Sign Language) to uncover insights and translate those into a still image. For her a picture is not just a shot, it's an outlet of her creativy, implementing ideas, and building a whole scene. Clients thrive seeing their products or subjects telling a story.
