Confessions of a Photographer


  • “Nine” – Shot with GX1 and Elinchrom Quadra
    Today, nine years ago, I became a father. And it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. So whenever there is a birthday we try to come up with something cool to make the birthday party invitation cards. Here is Kobe’s ninth birthday party invitation: There was this great haze and beautiful muted colors in the ambient [...]

  • RSO – Panasonic Lumix GX1 – part 2
    Yesterday, I posted part 1 of my GX1 review, here’s part 2: As soon as I looked at the first pics I shot with the GX1 on my computer, I got the feeling that the GX1 could possible be more than an even better always-with-you-camera. Therefor I needed to test it in a real life situation: [...]

  • RSO – Panasonic Lumix GX1 – part 1
    It’s not a secret that I absolutely looooove my Panasonic GF1 camera. The reason why I bought it is to have a very small camera that is small enough to carry with me all the time and that is a real photographer’s camera with great lens, decent low light capacities, easy manual settings and good image [...]

  • Inspired by Matthew Jordan Smith 2/2
    About a month ago, I posted about a studio experiment inspired by Matthew Jordan Smith. Some people requested some more info about the gear used on part 1, so let me go over it, before jumping to part 2. Here’s the setup: In the studio I use mainly Elinchrom monoblocs because I find them the best studio [...]

  • Nikon D4 and Canon 1Dx – Blessing or Curse?
    Last week I was invited at the launch event for the Nikon D4 at Nikon Belgium’s HQ. It’s great to see that Nikon Belgium is making an effort to get in touch with their customer base and photographers in general. Reaching out to the world of bloggers isn’t easy if you are used to dealing [...]

  • Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
    That’s it for 2011. No looking back on 2011, no best-ofs and no resolutions for 2012. Just a couple of days of time for myself and my loved ones. I’ve got a lot of big plans for 2012, see you then!

  • Confessions XL Video – GF1 Guerilla Style … Finally
    A little over a week ago, I finally got the very first Confessions XL Video online but didn’t have time to blog about it before leaving for a well needed holiday in Scotland. Most of you probably saw the announcement already on Facebook or Twitter, but for hose who didn’t, here it [...]

  • Don McCullin Exhibition London
    A couple of days ago I got an e-mail from the Imperial War Museums about a Don McCullin exhibition in London. I have a huge respect for war photographers. I believe documentary photography is the most relevant genre in photography and I wish I had the balls and commitment to be a documentary photographer. McCullin is [...]

  • Inspired by Matthew Jordan Smith 1/2
    Having a personal style is important as a photographer but it’s probably harder to achieve than gaining good technical working knowledge. It takes years of hard work to find and then perfect your own style and vision. I’ve come to the point that I sort of know what I stand for and I think my [...]

  • RSO – Phase One IQ140
    Way too long A while ago I announced that I was working on the return of the Confession videos. Due to lots of work and the fact that I keep changing my mind about the best format, it’s all taking a bit longer than expected. But I want these new videos to become a long [...]
