Location Cafe de Vriend in Leiden.

In this photo we have used the light that enters the cafe through two doors, this location allows you to direct the light in a very easy way.

The small step invites the model to sit by doing something with his hands and knees, this makes it easier for his hands to get a function in the photo.

Furthermore, I have tightly framed the photo to be able to send the viewer in this photo.

Outside the tourist area photos.

These photos were taken just outside of a small town in central Portugal.

Sand Porn

I really enjoy creating something different with drones. I've had the Mavic now for about four weeks and I absolutely love it.

Mixing Film and Night - New for Me

Here are a couple long exposure shots using my original 50 year old Minolta SR-T201 and kit lens shooting Fujifilm Neopan Acros 100 II. Both images were taken just at the end of blue hour.
