Photographer, owner at 44 Gallery, organizer, curator and mentor. Luc Rabaey discovered his own creative talents at the age of 45 only, while wisely choosing for photography. Looking at his latter realizations we can say he has quite made up for his somewhat late start. Organizing photography-exhibitions led to the start-up of his 44 Gallery in Bruges, which is now six years young but has already shown about 99 photographers from Belgium and abroad. Intensity, authenticity and a touch of magic are his most crucial criteria for the selection of photographical works. His gallery hosts and promotes a number of valuable oeuvres in Belgian photography, international arists as well.
He curated De Lichte Kamer, Brussels Parliament and Belgian Street Photography in BELvue Museum, Brussels, Intimacy under the milky Way at PAK and Dark Rooms. Photography and beyond in Bruges. He coördinates and curates Brugge Foto festival.
