Some of you might know that I moved to Brussels (Belgium) for professional and work-related reasons in September 2009. Having more luck than anything else, I had my first Brussels-based customer for PR Photography a couple of months before actually moving to the capital of Europe. It’s not a secret (if you read the title …
Low-Key Lighting Photography – Portraits of Musicians
I don’t take low-key lighting pictures often. Don’t ask me why, I just don’t know. But sometimes, I can’t resist to take such pictures. I personally believe that low-key lighting photography can have a particularly strong effect for certain type of portraits. I like to use low-key lighting especially in those portraits where a person’s …
Portraits of children – Tim
If you have ever taken pictures of small kids then you know how hard it is. Posing is out of question as well as any chances they would stay in one place for longer than 2 seconds without moving. However, these and many more challenges connected with photographing small children can lead to interesting results. …
Even a housemate can be…
… an interesting model. I write ‘interesting‘ and not ‘good‘ , ‘excellent‘, etc because I think (or rather I hope or even expect) that he will read this article and I don’t want him to become narcissistic, although he already is! . After all, the most important thing a housemate should do is to read …
Three types of people in photography
I have noticed recently that there are 3 types of people and everyone falls into at least one of a category. The first type includes those who like to look at pictures. It’s a passive type but doesn’t mean it’s bad. In the second category fall those who take pictures. Here things start to be …
Who let the ghosts out?
Did you see any ghosts or paranormal activities last night? If not, then you should! Or maybe you were a paranormal activity yourself ? I know two holidays closely related to each other: Halloween and All Saints . The last one is a typical Catholic holiday celebrated on 1 November. Halloween is of course a …
A lion in a pussycat’s skin
Life itself is a lifelong learning process (and wikipedia doesn’t have all the answers for that anyway ). When you think you have experienced everything and everything happened to you, then surprise happens and that applies to various experiences and people we meet. It’s just a quick thought, not particularly connected to the rest of …
Where are you going, lady(bug)?
Sit back, close your eyes and imagine a beautiful sunny day, nature, forest, birds singing in the background…. Great feeling, isn’t it?! Unfortunately, summer is over, at least in the Benelux area. Chilly, even cold, days have come, it was even snowing in some places. Well, I guess it’s time to start thinking and planning …
Settled in Brussels
Sorry to everyone for such long silence and thanks to all of you who sent me emails asking what was going on. Most of you are probably already aware that I moved recently to Brussels and I was busy arranging everything and settling down in the capital of Europe. The first impression of the city …
It’s time to move (on)
I think this is the first post for a long time where the picture corresponds not only to the title but also to the content YES! I’ll be moving from Maastricht to Brussels this weekend. Excited? Yes! Nervous? Yes! Worried? Yes! Sad? Yes! I could go on like that for ages. I got a job …
People, people, give me more people!
As you can imagine from the title, I’ve decided to take my photography a step further and to concentrate on portraits, portraiture, fashion, people documentary or any other type of photography that involves people. Why? There are many reasons, way too many to mention all of them here but to name just few: I realized …
Creativity: Here I come!
There is time (or actually many ‘times’) in every artists’ life when changes have to be done. These ‘changes’ vary and sometimes they are changes in artistic approach, changes in personal life influencing the artistic outcomes or self-concious decisions influencing the creativity. It’s time for me to take on those changes and I will concentrate …
