COVER-ed by Dirk Lambrechts

Stephanie Manasseh had the honour of participating in renown fashion photographer Dirk Lambrecht’s ‘COVER-ed’ series, an hommage to the photographer’s late father published in De Morgen Magazine. The series featured other art world figures such as Antwerp-based painter Luc Tuymans.

“The photography itself as an hommage to the Masters of classic portrait photography and my father. Different personalities are casted for this personal project. The un-known, as well as, the well-known are photographed in black&white. It’s not the status or profession of one person that counts. It’s the common sense of trust of human interaction that we sometimes forget or loose. We have to remind ourselves these days to constantly be open for it. This project started with a deep passion to search for personal contact and communication. The enthusiasm and the result of the product made this project successful to continue this approach and to bring it to a higher level and international exposure. This photography project will never stop but will continuously move on as an ongoing process of development, depending on my travels around the globe and who I’ll meet.” - Dirk Lambrechts
