As a retired Art Director, Ben Goossens has an invaluable sense for photographic art.

Since his time in Art school, he has spent the last 40 years perfecting his own surreal style of photography.

He previously realized his visions using traditional techniques, such as airbrushing, gouache and AD markers.

When digital processing became available, it allowed him to take his work to a completely new level.
Since then, he has won awards in almost all photo contests available, both in his home country Belgium and internationally. You can find his work worldwide in books and in magazines.
Since long called the R.Mrgritte/Dali in the photography which is a honor.

He doesn't take pictures, but make his own pictures where fantasy is a must.

Ben Goossens is also a sought after judge in many photo contests and exhibitions.

What are you looking for when reviewing a photo?
I expect a 1x image to have impact, originality, mood, an artistic component or a special point of view.
