Lukas Van Lishout is a photographer based in Cape Town, South Africa and often found in the bush of Africa.

First of all, thank you for your interest in Vanlisht Photography and for visiting my website!

My name is Lukas Van Lishout and I'm currently living in Cape Town, South Africa.

Speaking about myself is not my forte, but here we go.

I lived in Belgium till my early 20ies, when I decided to take my last year of college abroad, namely in Cape Town, South Africa. What was supposed to be 6 months, soon turned into several years, as my love for Cape Town, South Africa, and Africa in general grew stronger every day. It's in this beautiful city, country, and continent that my passion for photography began.

I often get asked the question where my brand name “Vanlisht” is originating from. Well, as I travelled all over the world from the Americas to Oceania passing by Africa and Europe a lot of people have tried to pronounce my last name. It’s a real Flemish one (thanks Dad). It’s almost impossible for foreigners to pronounce it but most people pronounce it something like “Van Lishoet” or “Van Lisht”. I loved the “Van Lisht” one and it stuck. Most of my friends in Cape Town even started calling me Vanlisht, or Seydou. But that’s a story for another time.

Now the part I love to talk about most: traveling & photography!

All the pictures on my website are taken by myself. I'm against excessive editing. I prefer keeping the pictures as natural as possible.

As I’m a sucker for nature, most of my pictures will be focused on wildlife and the bush in Africa, trying to capture the beauty in front of me.

Enjoy the site and don’t hesitate to contact me for any personalized quotes for prints.

Always only 1 click away,
