Why Work with Liza Angèle

Liza Angèle (Liza Van der Stock)holds a PhD in Photography and is known internationally for creating fine art that evokes quiet emotional depth and anchors personal memory.

Her work is shaped by years of photographing cultures, conservation efforts, and luxury environments around the world.

She collaborates with a limited number of quiet luxury properties to design guest journeys that are visually refined, emotionally resonant, and seamlessly aligned with the contemplative rhythm of their experience.

Each collaboration is bespoke, not to decorate, but to create presence, connection, and lasting internal recall.

Academic & Artistic Foundations

Her journey began with a fascination for Visual Storytelling, which led her to earn:

  • A PhD in Photography (University of Antwerp & Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp)

  • A Master’s in Photography (KASK School of Arts, Ghent – cum laude)

  • A Master’s in Sociology (University of Ghent – magna cum laude)

Her background ensures each photograph carries depth, exclusivity, and emotional power.

Finding Stories Worth Telling

My work is intentional, created to hold emotion with clarity and visual strength.

Whether it lives in a collector’s home or becomes part of a guest’s private moment in a hotel suite, each piece is meant to anchor memory, emotion, and presence, not just be seen, but felt over time.

A Personal Note

I dedicate all of my work to my mother, who brought me on most of her field trips as an anthropologist.

She taught me curiosity and resilience, two things I carry with me every day.

I miss her daily.
