Playing with the curiosity of the viewer is the basis of my photos. This photo has for me everything that has to be in a picture, playing with the distance to the viewer, playing with the balance between light and shadow, filling light at the front with a Rembrandt lighting on the shadow side and light rear which has as function as profile light.

Although I only work with the available light, I try to bring it back to light settings that I use in my studio.

EURASIAN OWL (?)

I have been sorting through my external SSDs, getting rid of all the photographs I should have got rid of on the day I uploaded them.

Be Careful

I have been working through all my SSD exts, which are filled with thousands of photographs, most of which are dross and need to be deleted.
