As a photographer, Eva Vermandel is particularly renowned for her unique approach to portraits. Hailing from Belgium, this artist set out to capture her subject creating a very special feel of intimacy and closeness. The reason why Vermandel’s style feels so minimal, personal and intimate is that her compositional approach is not based on anything glamorous or iconic. Just take a look at some of her portraits of actors and celebrities. Subjects the likes of Cillian Murphy, Amy Winehouse or Ralph Fiennes pose for Vermandel are depicted in understated and unconventional ways. 

Most of Vermandel's pictures have a very spontaneous feel to them, almost as if the subjects of her shots were not aware of being photographer. Her most distinctive photographs almost appear like they could be “lucky shots” between a pose and another, stolen moments that end up being more valuable than a more structured composition. Vermandel has always been the photographer's choice of forward thinking and hands-on characters. The reason why her style is extremely popular is because of her no-nonsense approach. No heavy processing, not particularly inaccessible technique or equipment: Just a vision that can be quite brave in its simplicity.
