The following year, he was employed by the [Fotomuseum Antwerp](/source/Fotomuseum_Antwerp), where he remained until 2002. From 2002 to 2006, he became photo editor of the Dutch photo magazine ''Foto''. After that, he started his career as a full-time freelance photographer.

In 2000, the [National Technical Museum](/source/National_Technical_Museum_(Prague)) in Prague held a solo exhibition of his work.{{cite web|url=http://www.ntm.cz/data/vyrocni-zpravy/rok-2000.pdf|website=ntm.cz|title=Exhibition information|accessdate=28 September 2009|archive-date=29 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029075243/http://www.ntm.cz/data/vyrocni-zpravy/rok-2000.pdf|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|first=Ivo|last=Janousek|url=http://www.guardalafotografia.be/index-auromatic-text.htm|website=guardalafotografia.be|title=Review|accessdate=28 September 2009|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101112105149/http://www.guardalafotografia.be/index-auromatic-text.htm|archivedate=12 November 2010}} This show resulted in the development and publication of his first book ''Auromatic''.
