"I want to present a photo just like I saw it in reality"
Landscapes, macro photography, portraits and HDR
It doesn't matter which one is your passion. Each one is art in their own way. My passion about photography is not limited to a category. I love taking photos of breathtaking sunsets, sensational landscapes, every detail of a flower or that perfect shot of another person.
My photos are usually vivid and full of colors. I want to present a photo just like I saw it in reality. Because of the way cameras work, a standard photo usually comes out a bit 'flat'. Our brain is used to translating the colors you see on the photo to reality. But if you hold the photo next to the item, it is not the same. Just like back in the days with developing films, your photos need some editing. When I take a photo, I try to imagine how this will look after the editing. For an HDR this can be challenging, but the outcome can be more satisfying. |
Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” |
For the past years, I've been focussing on HDR.
Some think HDR is a terrible waste of a photo. They are either usually used to HDR filters, or photos that have been overdone. A real good HDR is a better presentation of reality. It brightens the dark areas and darkens the light areas. Therefor you can see everything on a photo. Just like your eyes do when you are actually there. |
My work
Although I live in Holland, my heart was always in Greece. When I came at an age at which I started to appreciate beauty more, I became addicted to photography in this beautiful country. Everywhere I turn, there is something worth taking a photo of.
For years I've been running a website about Chania in the west of Crete: www.chaniaweb.com
