Willy Kessels attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Ghent before moving to Brussels, where he worked as a sculptor and architectural draftsman in the 1920s. He began his photographic career in 1929, embracing the medium as a modern form of visual expression. The high point of his production falls in the 1920s-1930s, and his photomontages, aerial views, dynamic angles, and use of light exemplify the modern movement in Belgian photography at the time. His refined nude studies also form a significant part of his oeuvre.
