Exploring intimate and candid moments through a covert and spontaneous photographic approach, As It May Be presents a study of personal spaces and encounters. Bieke Depoorter captures the subtle tensions and close proximities that define human interactions, often within private or domestic environments.
The work’s mood is restrained yet revealing, emphasizing personal boundaries and the quiet narratives that unfold in everyday settings. The photos suggest an openness to chance and vulnerability, while maintaining a composed and deliberate visual language. Published in 2017 by Hannibal, the 124-page book offers a compact yet immersive examination of these themes.
