images from Scotland

Wow, What a spectacular country, Scotland. Had a terrific time working on my "Seafood in Scotland" project last week. You can see some images by clicking the image below:

Now comes the difficult task to write an interesting story about this, I'll keep you posted.

exposition graduates "photo art"

Hi verybody, just got the link to a brand new website with details on the exposition from the graduates "photo art" at Sint Lucas, Ghent. I will be one of the exhibitors. You can find all details about place, participants, visiting hours... there. Have a look at the site by clicking on my image below, and come visit us there.

Exhibition images Kabassenstoet

My images from the "Kabassenstoet" in Ghent will be shown in an exhibition from mai 20th till june 6th in VDK-Spaarbank, Sint-Michielshelling, Ghent, together with the images from college photographers.

For my trip to Scotland (and other assignments in the future) I invested in a new wide angle zoom lens, the 14-24 2,8 Nikkor. First test shots came out great. This lens will give me a lot more flexibility to work in small spaces. It is also very usefull for landscape photography. There is a little catch though ; you have to be very attentive about deformations that are typical for this kind of extreme lenses as you can see below...

images from my cute godchild Lois

Click on the image below for a slideshow of my supercute godchild Lois. This series was made in my father's house and garden yesterday at a family meeting.

The route for my Scotland trip next week, where I will try to make an interesting article about "the rich tradition in fishery and seafood in Scotland", is getting shape. I had some interesting reactions from people who are willing to show me around at their jobs (fisherman, producers of seafood...) and decided to limit myself to the Isle of Skye and surroundings. I believe I will get all the images I need for an interesting article. Any people who have tips about beautiull harbours, landscapes, restaurants,... in this area, please let me know. Also tips about how getting an article published are most welcome. Hope to show you some spectacular Scotland images shortly.

"fruit and veggies on purple" images

I had lots of fun yesterday creating a new series of food images called "fruit and veggie images". I did almost set the house on fire in the process, when the coloured paper around my flash caught fire, but hey, that's a small price to pay right? Here's a preview :

I also bought a great book from Jimmy Kets, "Brightside".

A tip for anyone who loves photography with an edge. You can click on the image to go to Jimmy's blog.

Here, I will keep people updated on my whereabouts as a photographer.

As a photographer you are learning all the time by doing different typres of assignment, dealing with different clients, trying to find new clients, get your images to be seen,... Because of the many aspects about the profession it can somletimes look like a confusing and chaotic occupancy, but at the same time it can be incredebly fascinating and very fulfilling. By sharing my experiences, I hope that people who are interested in photography, will pick up some new things from time to time. Off coure I am also interested in learning from you guys, so feel free to comment on my images, give tips, report interesting photography opportunities, announce exhibitions... In the coming weeks I will be organizing my photography trip to Scotland from 17 to 24 of mai, wich I hope to get published. I will finalize my end project at Sint Lucas, Gent, so everything is ready for the exposition at galerij Jan Colle. My goal is also to make a professional looking portfolio and start activly visiting publicity agencies and other possible clients to get some interesting assignments. On saturday afternoon I will be photographing the "Kabassebstoet" in Ghent together with my fellow Sint Lucas students. Results will follow... You can expect several posts per week from me, for more information you can still visit my personal website
