The Path Towards Expression – part 3
In this article, I will analyse a case study, using one of my personal projects: “Septentrio”. For once, the importance here will shift from the photographs (the end result) to the process and its coherence. more
The Post-Processing Debate, Part I:
Few topics in landscape photography generate as much emotional debate as digital post-processing. The fascinating thing about the current debate is that it closely parallels a similar debate that occurred nearly 100 years ago. more
Meaning, C19 and the Voice Within Our Landscapes
During this pandemic crisis, landscape photography is as relevant and meaningful as ever. It has much to offer in terms of thinking about re-evaluating our approach and the opportunity to do things differently when we emerge from this situation. more
Photographing Rocks
As visual artists, we are as trained as anyone in the power of perspective: the multi-dimensional relationship between “the world” and one’s point of view. more
Iconic Landscape
Arguably, one of the hardest tricks in photography is to make genuinely different, interesting photographs of extremely well-known – iconic (for want of a better word) – places. more

In this article, I would like to ponder: what is expressive photography? What does it take to reach this level in your photography? Which traits or characters tend to define the philosophy and modus operandi of the expressive photographer? more
Why did you take it?
This question is not given a lot of thought and this can be the difference between an excellent image and an average, or even a bad one and responses can be convoluted and unclear. more
Living Lightly in a Consumerist Industry
