Twin Rhino
Collecting memoires.Where travel and photography intertwine,
from hidden city corners to wide open landscapes,
I capture the world as I see it and share those stories.
Grab your camera or a good cup of coffee and let’s dive right in.

Photography is my personal medium to express my feelings and emotions. A photo nowadays is created within seconds, but memories are created over your entire lifetime and the snapshots I take are there to remind myself how fortunate I was to be able to take that specific shot. Be it of a special place, a structure that is long gone since, a construction site that is already being occupied by new folks, or a monument that remains for decades to come.

About.
Twin Rhino is about the photographic replication of a visual mind, a field that is well saturated in the modern day, although it is such a wide spectrum that a person can take one topic and blog about it all day long.
My visual mind is a perfect balance between architecture, landscapes & travel, which I want to share on this website.
My name is Alan Cuypers and I am a technical draughtsman who loves the creativity of photography.
When I refer to "we" I speak about my girlfriend Lien & in May 2025 we got a baby boy named Alfie, who is now happily part of our team!
Enjoy

Previous travels.
We are lucky to have had the chance to travel abroad starting from a young age with our dearest parents! Nonetheless we also worked hard for our own adventures and distant travels. Alan's parents have always been exquisite travellers themselves. They went from the northest point in Europe to the southest point of Africa and from California to Taiwan. Simply put; amazing people with a heart for traveling the world on their own pace.
Now it is us who lead the way to the next adventure; the unknown is yet to be explored...

Urban Exploration.
2010, the year I turned 20, has been the year I started to explore an abandoned industrial site not far from Antwerp, the city where I grew up and still live today.
I was with a friend, of course, on the bike cycling around town. We knew this specific site existed, a site left abandoned for quite some time now and we wanted to check out what's inside.
Not much to our surprise, although there were still a few buildings, warehouses and a gas station for big trucks, still present.
Since then I love exploring abandoned sites and, in fact, all sorts of things too.

Some say I love to time travel!
As time flies for some, time stops for me.
I enjoy snapping pics as it helps me to remember past events. It can by quite anything really; from a special event or random daytrip to your most amazing holiday. Every picture contains a story which you either want to keep forever or maybe blog about... It is all up to you what you want to do with it.
Playing a film extra.
Me and my sister Suzanna had the magnificent idea to start playing a film and television extra for the kids-play Huis Anubis for Studio 100.
It was the start of my personal film career as an extra. Didn't pay much and I just did it for fun - and the cool places and things you would get to see.

Clients.
As my work is much appreciated by close friends and family I started shooting stills and videos for them from a young age and I really like doing it for free. I give more than that I would ever take, but photography is more than just earning a good buck for it. It opens doors which would otherwise stay closed forever.
Friends and family are above all the most important thing in one dear life!
Apart from them I had the opportunity to do a job for K2 Profshop, which was an amazing experience. With here and then a beautiful wedding to fill up the gaps in between shoots.
