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.

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.
