Yeah this work is superb! I love the changes in very whitened-key to the darker mood in processing. Not often you see someone go so varied in style like that. Love it!

When you nail the right mix of foreground, midground, and background the depth of field looks incredibly unreal. He isn’t adding it in post he is just nailing it.

You had some pretty good shots in there! Really liked some of your pictures which had similar kind of feel to them as Benoit

Don’t ask Benoit a question like “what lens did you use”. Other wise you will bore him. :p personality of a cardboard box.

I would LOVE a tutorial about that beautiful post-processing in those.
Probably it’s all about the eyes.
Awesome article!
