Shutterstock meeting in Rotterdam

Shutterstock was so kind to invite me to their meeting in Rotterdam for graphic designers and other illustrators. It was nice to see so many other Shutterstock contributors in a location that is not Amsterdam.

CRAVE food photography

This month I organized a workshop for 18 photographers together with chef Claire Sullivan from CRAVE Good Food. The best part about organising a food photography workshop is that you get to eat the food afterwards 🙂

Photographing The Red Square

I recently got the opportunity to travel to Moscow. With little time for taking photos, of course the main subject of choice was The Red Square. As any photographer knows, getting there VERY early in the morning is a great opportunity to photograph a popular tourist attraction with little to no people and good side lighting. Getting the perfect shot was difficult, due to a concert area being build right in front of the famous Saint Basil’s Cathedral. So the only possible shots were close-ups.
