belgian smaak.

Belgian Smaak is an award-winning online beer publication and podcast that creates long-form narrative stories, deep-dive podcasts, and short-form focus pieces within the world of Belgian beer. Alongside a talented team of writers and editors, I shoot photography and videography for many of their feature stories and podcasts, and I also create the photographic series, Café Society.
