Hi A-Lab colleagues! My name is Bert van Blaere. I recently started as a freelance creative producer, after gaining extensive experience at Scrambled, a food content production company.
From the lab that I share with stylist Pieter van Loon and photographer Wessel de Groot, I set up shoots and projects. Whether it's a high-end fashion shoot, a TV documentary or developing mouthwatering recipe videos... I love taking on the creative challenge with both hands. Production often also comes down to making the impossible possible: do you need an oil bulb stand in the middle of summer for a project or a location for a bikini shoot in the heat of winter: I've got your back! Want to get acquainted and maybe come up with nefarious plans together? Feel free to drop by LabS03, this emigrated Belgian also makes good coffee and has a full fridge! Welcome!
