TV That Henk Van Cauwenberghe (59) good burps, now know the brokers in ‘house hunting’. They may for the photographer looking for a new home that is less than one million euro should cost. “As prince Albert of Monaco says: “I recognize your photos’, then you are doing well,” says Henk.
‘miljoenenweek’ in ‘Huizenjagers’, so the sky is the limit for the brokers.

You have as a photographer or specific requirements, eh?
Correct. The property must be a separate private area with garden, and a separate professional section. With a large open space with high ceilings and plenty of natural light, on the ground floor. There are often large objects in my photography studio inside: horses, cars… On a floor that is not.

Well, for such buildings, you quickly reach 800,000 euros and counting there is still renovation or refurbishment, and you come out at a million.
You deserve so good you living as a photographer.

Then you’ll get soon the chance to for a foreign clientele to work on bigger budgets. My big art pictures do well in French galleries. I am also more than 22 years, the regular photographer of Charles Aznavour. And via Chico from The Gypsy Kings, I’m of jobs affected in Monaco.
