Hi, we’re Tammy & Tim. She’s a marine biologist, he’a journalist. Together we’re exploring what it means to live a good life. We current live in Luxembourg and enjoy photographing our travels. We’re both living minimalistic and sustainable lifestyles. Being conscious to what one buys is extremely important to us as it takes an enormous amount of energy and resources to produce the products that many people buy on a whim. That’s why we’ve been following JECKYBENG for years and why Tim owns theirJacket,the wool blanketand nowthe Rucksack.
On one of our most recent trip to Brussels, Belgium, Tim took his new the Rucksack with him, so he could not only properly test it, but so we could also shoot with it. We started our shooting day off with a visit to a small visual arts museum, MIMA, where we wandered through the Dream Box exhibition and the psychedelic box ofElzo Durt. The absolutely dazzling changes of lights created powerful illusions and beautiful light and shadow plays, perfect to have some fun shooting the Rucksack.
We discovered the JECKYBENG brand by chance through Instagram and we were immediately impressed; everything is designed in-house and made by hand, putting the environment first.
As it was Tammy’s Birthday weekend, we were having a good time in Brussels, enjoying the good weather and having everything packed into the Rucksack that we needed during the day! Later, we made our way to the north of the city to our main destination, the Pannenhuis metro station.
While the station is relatively busy when trains arrive, the platforms are usually fairly quiet during the weekend. The striking colours of orange, red and black were the perfect colours to shoot the Rucksack. A couple of photos that we took are right in front of the escalators, that are below a large light installation hanging from the ceiling, creating the perfect background for the photos. While Tim was taking more architectural photos, Tammy took advantage of shooting the Rucksack in action. We then discovered the orange seats on the platform. With the yellow-orange clips on the Rucksack and the ever so reoccurring orange at the station, we used the locations and took photos of Tim, pretending to wait for the train.
