It’s a Belgian who is behind the Trump family photos. Régine Mahaux is from Huy and has an extraordinary destiny.
Régine Mahaux has a very special destiny. This Belgian, originally from Huy, has followed the Trump family for 15 years and even became Melania Trump’s personal photographer.
This proximity to the future first lady of the United States allowed him to discover the mysterious wife of the sulphurous Donald Trump. “There was this whole huge campaign and also this very powerful woman, with a lot of secrecy. I really wanted to illustrate all of this. She exudes power, strength. She is a woman from Eastern countries who is very hardworking and secretive. I like its part of mystery.”
In addition to the Trumps, many American stars have already called on the talents of our compatriot. In her Brussels workshop, we find a photo of Christina Aguilera with her new baby, another of Rita Ora and the Hilton family.
What attracted these stars? Talent, of course, but also Belgianness: “There is always a moment when we have to laugh. This is the great moment because after that, everything continues. I think humor saves everything and that strongly belongs to the Belgians.”
Régine Mahaux will capture the official portrait of Melania Trump, as she did during the 2017 inauguration.
