Aline is a creative professional from Brussels, whose passion spans photography, graphic design and communication services. Photography has always been her deepest love, a medium she has been drawn to since childhood. Her unique sensitivity allows her to capture the essence of a place, a person, or an atmosphere, while her design and communication expertise help bring cohesive stories and visual identities to life. ​

Her academic background — a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and a Master’s degree in Journalism from IHECS — gives her a deep understanding of how to craft messages that connect and engage. This foundation allows her to approach every project thoughtfully, ensuring that communication strategies and visuals are both clear and compelling.

Having lived in countries such as Belgium, Ireland, and the United States, and traveled extensively, Aline brings a global perspective to every project. She draws inspiration from hidden corners of the world, the serenity of nature, and the lives of the people she meets, infusing both her visual and communication work with depth and authenticity.

As a co-founder of Alvin Collective, based in Dendermonde, Aline brings a human-centered approach to the team’s projects, combining authentic photography, thoughtful graphic design, and strategic communication. Her work exemplifies the power of creativity to bridge differences, tell compelling stories, and leave a lasting impact.

Co-founder

Vincent Van Kerckhove

Vincent is a photographer / videographer from Denderbelle whose love for creating began at a very young age. Music was his first language. At nine, he started playing the drums; by twelve he had picked up the guitar, and at fifteen he added piano to the mix. Growing up immersed in music shaped his sensitivity to expressing through art — qualities that would later define his visual work.

 

As a teenager, Vincent began exploring the visual arts more deeply. He followed drawing courses at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Dendermonde and started experimenting with photography using his very first camera. What began as curiosity gradually evolved into a fascination with light, composition and the power of a well-framed moment.

He went on to study architecture, where he refined his eye for design and developed strong conceptual thinking skills. Five years of studying and working in Denmark left a lasting imprint on his aesthetic, nurturing a deep appreciation for Scandinavian simplicity, clean lines and the interplay between light and space. His architectural background allows him to approach photography with both artistic intuition and technical precision — whether capturing architectural spaces, creating 3D visualizations or finding the exact camera settings to translate a vision into reality.

Becoming a father marked an important shift in his creative journey. It encouraged him to slow down and truly notice the beauty of fleeting, everyday moments. Since then, he has felt especially drawn to pregnancy, newborn, baby and family photography — capturing authentic connections with honesty and care.

 

As co-founder of Alvin Collective, Vincent brings together technical expertise and emotional sensitivity, creating images that invite people to pause and appreciate life.
