Today, he still understands the value and importance of balancing commercial and fine-art work to continue honing his practice to the highest level.

Deproost strives to combine a high level of technical ability with an inquisitive creativity that was nurtured during his studies and subsequent career.
Deproost’s work has been featured by Creative Review, Wallpaper*, the British Journal of Photography, Paper Journal, Rakes Progress, Paris Photo Prize, PDN Photo Annual, International Photography Awards, FIX Photo Festival and the British Photography Awards.
