Born in Belgium, Jean-Marie Michalski now 43 years old, grew up in a town called Perwez as the single child of Jean Michalski a now famous mouth artist painter. His father lost his arms in an childhood accident at the age of 10.
Ever since he was a child, Jean-Marie was surrounded by art due to his father situation.
When Jean-Marie was 10 years old, he won a month long trip around the world, for taking care of his single father. When he got home his father asked to see the photos from his trip. Jean-Marie responded "I didn't take any." Regretting not taking photos Jean-Marie started taking pictures all the time first with a 110 camera. A good friend of his dad was a photographer and ran a photography club in their town Perwez, Belgium. This is when Jean-Marie learned the basics of photography and learned to develop film in a dark room. Jean-Marie seems to always have a camera in his hand. Some time driving his family a little crazy. He now uses digital SLR's
For years people have commented and complimented his unique style. For his talent to catch those special moments and include an artistic flare. He has done work for Ghetto Choppers Customs, Old Cruser Magazine, Local Bands, Local models, local Events, his daughters softball team, and many more.
Jean-Marie aka Belgium has moved from Belgium and lived in North San Diego County since May 1, 1981. He's now married with a lovely wife and has 2 daughters. Maycie 12 and Kaylie 10 who has Rett Syndrome.
Although Jean-Marie is highly in demand, he is always open to new projects. No job is too big or too small.
Call Jean-Marie today. You won't regret it

From Model Hellcat Kelly 05-11-2009
My experience with BLP has been amazing*!* Not only is Jean generous with his time, but very professional. He has a lot to offer and brings it all to the table. I was stoked to receive my photos so quickly and well worth the beautiful work i got in return. Happy to work with him again in the future ^..^

From Modle Candyspooky 02-08-2009
"First off, let me just say that the pictures I got from you were breathtaking. I really believe that they took my portfolio to a whole new level. My experience, however, was much more than just the photos I got. You made my escort and I feel so comfortable and relaxed! It was quite possibly the most fun I've ever had at a photoshoot and I would recommend that any model invest in Belgium Lion Photography. It's well worth it!

From Model Crystal Lane Swift 01-04-2009
"Jean-Marie is easy to work with, fun, and professional. He is open to ideas generated by models and make up artists, and he has fantastic modifications to make to those ideas. His finished product, as you can see from his work, is beautiful, encapsulating a fraction of his passion in each image, and is delivered in a timely manner. I highly recommend Jean-Marie and hope to work with him again myself."

SOME WORDS TO LEAVE BY
FACE IT
Nobody owes you a living.
What you achieve or fail to achieve in your lifetime
is directly related to what you do or fail to do.
No one chooses his parents or childhood
But you can choose your own direction.
Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome
but that too is relative to each individual.
NOTHING IS CARVED IN STONE
You can change anything in your life
If you want to badly enough.
Excuses are for losers
Those who take responsibility for their actions
Are the real winners in life.
Winners meet life’s challenges head on
Knowing there are no guarantees
And give it all they’ve got.
It’s never too late or too early to begin.
Time plays no favorites
And will pass whether you act or not.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE
Dare to dream and take risks.
If you aren’t willing to work for your goals,
don’t expect others to .
BELIVE IN YOURSELF !!!
