Frederic George Pauwels (b. 1971) is a photographer based in Belgium and Catalonia, Spain.
He started collecting pictures and visuals at a young age, with magazines, posters, and vinyl covers being his first source of inspiration in the early 1980s. 
At 15, he received his first camera and fell in love with the analog photographic process. He started taking pictures and never stopped. 
Fred graduated in photography in 1993 and began his career in advertising photography, mainly in studios. However, his travels and encounters gradually pushed him towards more human-centered assignments, such as portraits of artists. 
Since 2020, he has focused on his personal pursuits, exploring our complex relationship with the world. He captures the transformation of the natural landscape and the society we build, the passage of time, and what remains.
As he believes, beauty is never far from chaos.
