ABOUT
Morgane Gielen (1994) is a Belgium-based lifestyle and fashion photographer and Canon ambassador in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. She focuses on creating more inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry, which she finds very important. That is also why she started her own modeling agency, No Babes Agency, where she represents models and other creatives who share her vision.
She is also the founder of the non-profit organization No Babes, which gives a voice to people who are often silenced by society's ideals. This is also the name of her first photobook, published by Borgerhoff & Lamberigts.
Next to that, Morgane is also often seen on multiple media channels and in TV shows such as 'Alles In De Strijd', 'Ze Zeggen Dat', 'Het Perfecte Plaatje', and more. She also had her own TV column called #nofilter in 'Iedereen Beroemd' where a team follows her behind the scenes of No Babes shoots.

DISCOVER MY PHOTOBOOK
In 2019, I took the jump to become a fulltime photographer and immediately wanted to show the world what I stand for as a photographer. A few months later, No Babes was born.
It started out as me taking pictures of people with taboobreaking stories, and it grew out to be a non-profit organization where I give a platform to those who do not get a voice within society.
No Babes is also the name of my very first photobook and exhibition that took place in July 2021.
In 2023, I started No Babes Agency, the first inclusive model agency in Belgium.
Nathalie Raymakers, Etam
"Morgane inspires Etam at every level. She manages to capture the beauty in each and every person. Moreover, she makes her models comfortable whatever they wear, which is very important for a lingerie photoshoot."
Sabine Lemmens, Ellement
"I found working with Morgane very pleasant because she really listened to me. I felt that she completely understood my vision, so I left her the freedom to work something out. She also gave me the space to bring ideas to the shoots we organized together. Everything went very easy, and so the photos also looked very natural. Morgane is extremely artistic and I thought it was very important to work with such a person. Thanks to her I can no longer keep track of the incoming orders."
Line Broeckx, Flair
"Morgane photographs the weekly "My Body & Me" section for Flair, and we have also worked with her on various fashion and reportage productions. Morgane does so much more than taking pictures. She tells a story with her work. She always knows how to capture the right vibe. She approaches each shoot in her own personal way, and at the same time she is a real team player on set. A wonderful personality to work with!"
