After graduating with distinction from the well-known school of photography Le 75 in Brussels / Belgium, Veronique continued her studies in Fine Arts at the University of Strasbourg / France, where she achieved her Masters degree in 2005.
In 2001, Veronique received an advancement award by the Centre National de l’Audiovisuel, which released her monographic publication Reflections.
From 2001-2011, she has exhibited in Europe, the United States, India & China.
Furthermore, the photographer released several experimental short films in coproduction with the musician Daniel Balthasar. Interested in film set photography, she has lately started to work in this domain as well.
