Maxime Lahousse is a Belgian cinematographer. From the age of five, she was shooting stills with her FisherPrice 35mm camera. A few years later, she discovered the love for her mom's old camcorder. Creating a documentary about her dog at the age of ten, marked her first significant step toward a career in film. She studied film at Luca School of Arts (2012–2015), and spent four years working as a camera assistant on a wide range of feature films, commercials, and TV series.

 

In 2018, she stepped into the role of Director of Photography, focusing on narrative work. Her cinematography on Nesting (Dir: Alex Verhaest) was awarded Best Cinematography at the 2019 Leuven International Short Film Festival. Since 2022, she has expanded her work internationally. In 2021, she became a member of the Society of Belgian Cinematographers (SBC).

 

Maxime is inspired by stories that feel honest and by scripts that leave space for what’s unspoken. Whether she’s working on a TV series, film, documentary, or commercial, she is passionate about finding the right visual language for each story. When not on set, you’ll likely find her traveling with her analog stills camera, capturing life in quiet.
