Expert in expedition ships and research vessels exploring remote regions.
I’m Mike Louagie. I capture the world of exploration in photographs, stories and inspiring talks.
Ships are my chosen vehicle to create awareness around the remote regions of our planet. I follow, document and uncover the missions and motivations of those who explore the world by ship. From historical ships to state-of-the-art research vessels. From the shipyards to the High Seas. Let’s sail!
How can I help?
-
I have more than 30 years of experience in professional maritime photography. From ship portfolios and action photos to artistic work.
-
I write articles, magazine editorials and press releases about exploration and the shipping industry, with a focus on sustainable transition.
-
I give inspirational talks and informative lectures on a wide range of maritime topics.
-
I’m more than happy to moderate summits and panel debates about exploration travel by ship.
-
I’m a consultant on all things related to exploring by ship and the shipping industry.
The ocean is my second home, as I’ve sailed more than 1000 ships and boats.
Do you have questions on sustainable shipping, are you looking for a shipping industry expert or hesitating on which ship to choose for your next ocean journey? Reach out.
From the early explorers’ life to near future trends.
I am as passionate about the historical shipwrecks of the Belgica and the Endurance, as of sustainable future scenarios for exploration travel. From storytelling to exhibitions and talks. I’m up for it.
“Mike is a true maritime photographer. His enthusiasm for the Arctic and the Antarctic ignites everyone to care for the planet.”
