This week was hard, intensive and marked by continuous lower back pain for me. Even though the acute lumbago pain was over within a day, the difuse pain is still here combined with a disturbing inflexibility of the body. The whole experience with the medical system while not being able to walk left me seriously…

Portrait mood
Long time no post! A portrait mood is probably a first for me. I recently bought a new 100mm lens and I’m not sure if portraits are the reason or the result of that 😄 But it doesn’t really matter. Here are some special BW favourites… Tips? I’m sure there are so many more… Do…
perspective
here are 2 (of several) ways of looking at perspective in photography composition if perspective=point of view, you can shoot from: eye level being the subject bird’s view worm’s view even the loveliest subject can sometimes lead to quite boring or cliché results. that’s a good opportunity for the photographer to test another point of…

Communication without words… No sounds but still a voice and sometimes a very loud one! If you can capture this in your images then you’re on your way to powerful conceptual photography….
dancing fire and sparks
How to photograph a fire show? That is the question I wish I asked myself before facing one with the camera this weekend. As it was, I went on trial and error. I didn’t know fire would be present and I’ve never seen a fire show quite like this one before. A fantastic, magical show…
time for black and white?
Why does black and white look so good on portraits? When is bw a good idea? Why even use black and white? If you think of it as a sort of extreme filter, using black and white can dramatically improve your photo – or dramatically ruin it. So what to do, if trial and error…
shooting in the cold
Winter is coming and while I’m drinking a nice glass of port at home right now, tomorrow I’ll go out. And it will be cold. Hopefully not as cold as in the featured image, taken on frozen Öresund in February this year. Yes, the actual sea was frozen for miles. Anyway, here’s a short reminder…
