I went to the RAW art event in Rotterdam. A bit last minute decision, but a friend of mine had a few tickets left.I must say I was very surprised about the amount of people visiting the event! It was...
Some of you already might know I started a 'basic photography' course.It came to my attention a lot of people own a digital single-lens reflex camera (SLR) but really only ever use the automatic mode...
Charlotte and I started with the preperations for our project. There’s been some developments, and new exciting cooperations in our project. It opens up some great new perspectives! So we're really...
For a while I have been thinking about using photoshop within photography.Since lately I get many questions from models if I want to reduce their underchin, get rid their puffy cheeks and make them look more thin. Of course this all can be done, no problem...Besides the removal of pimples, little scars and other skin related things, sure I can form anybody into a real model.
