For long I been wanting to give you a “sneak peak” at the way I work.
No details will be revealed now, but what I do want to show you, is my approach to my images.

I’ll show you 2 examples of “From RAW to finished“.
So basically what you see is the shot I import into Lightroom, and then my finished edit …

Hope you like it … leave a comment please to let me know, and I’ll post more. Thank you!

Oh yes, it’s Friday once more.

To me, inspiration is many things. Not just images of other photographers but also how other photographers work.
With that in mind I send you right at Matt Kloskowski’s Lightroom Killer Tips

He’s got a lot of great tutorials and mini-tips for Lightroom worth checking out …

OK! Vacation’s over so here we go again …

Last Wednesday I stumbled across Cromasia.
It’s a company run by husband and wife – and oh boy do they know how to shoot and post …

Their color grading style reminds a bit of my own, so maybe that’s why I like their work so much :)
See for your self

Ok, it’s friday again …

Sometimes I stumble upon something that I actually not find that inspirational at first glance.
But after a while – looking – I find something.

The Fantastic Photography of Clark Little is one like that.

Actually I don’t find the images – as images – that inspirational because they’re all “just” waves”.
But the angles they are shot at are so amazing.
