I think every photographer has problems from time to time when it comes to having inspiration and ideas for new photography. I’m no different in this respect! The past month was horrible – I couldn’t find any new inspiration. Quite often, when you’re not inspired and you realize that, your self-confidence as a photographer disappears …
Aperture 3: No need for plugins except…
I’ve been testing Aperture 3 for a couple of weeks now an my experience with it as a photographer is very mixed. Besides being very positively surprised with new features, there are things that make me switch to alternative programs (next blog article will be on that). But for now, I want to share with …
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 …

After all, the most important thing a housemate should do is to read …

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 …
Houston, we’ve got a problem!
Before you start asking questions: yes, a person on a picture attached to this post is me; and yes, I was not shaved; and yes, I was on holidays when the picture was taken. Any more question? Some of you might know that I’ve been looking for a new job for some time now. The …
First Picture, first couple of rules
One of the very basic rules of photography is the one that seems to be the most obvious one (but not always): always take your camera with you wherever you go. Of course, there are certain situations (dinner at your parents in law, funeral, again dinner at your parents in law) where you are not …
