La Recoletta is one of the most famous cemeteries in the world. Situated in Buenos Aires, it features the most extravagant graves you’ll ever find. It also features the grave of a well know person: Evita Peron. Although she’s been ‘on the move’ quite a bit, long after she died, she has finally found peace […]

It’s getting dark, too dark to see
Well, not really, but the days are already getting shorter. Not good for working out in the evenings on my road bike, but it won’t be long till we can start with night photography workshops again. So check it out, and be there in time.
Wednesday wedding pic: rainy days
It happens every year on a number of weddings: it just doesn’t stop raining. Fortunately, most couples are smart enough a arrange a bad-weather back-up plan. And for me, I just try to find a subtle way to include some of the weather into my shots. Here’s my wedding website. I am available for destination weddings […]
Tuesday travel: the old man and the sea
Except there’s a young woman, instead of an old man. Still, I like the contemplating setting of this shot. My wife and I were on a short hike in Sydney, when we reached the sea. It had been a long time since we’d seen such a vast amount of water and we just stared for […]
Wednesday wedding pic: The dance on the boat
This still is one of my favorite wedding pics. It happened on the Amsterdam canals, where the couple was surprised by a musician, playing a tango from his own little boat. Although the couple only had less than half a square meter for their feet, they decided to dance to the tango. And while they […]
Tuesday travel: Santorini
It took me three planes to get there – and another three to get back – and I only spend two and a half day on the Greek island. I shot one of the most beautiful weddings of the year though, so that made it all worthwhile. Leica M9-P with Zeiss 35/2.8 Biogon T
Wednesday wedding pic: just before the ceremony
There are a few moments where brides and grooms tend to get pretty nervous: just before the first look and minutes before the ceremony. Here, the bride takes a peek to see if the guests are all gone to their seats, so she can go unseen. As a documentary wedding photographer I feel that all […]
Tuesday Travel: cold day bicycle ride
My wife and I like to ride our bicycles. Not just at home, but also in other paces where to go to by car. We just take out the wheels, and squeeze them in our car. The Leica M is small enough to take, even on a bike. Leica M8 with 35 summicron V2 Want […]
Wednesday wedding pic: the hug
I’ve seen a couple of thousand hugs in my wedding photography career. And now I know there are quite a few different types of hugs. Without going into further detail, you can see that this hug is a real one. I also know that these precious moments are often very much appreciated afterwards. That’s why […]
Tuesday Travel: Layering
One of the things I use a lot in my wedding pictures is the technique of layering. Sometimes that means I pick a subject in the foreground which I use to create a 3D like effect. Even with a relatively slow lens like the 35 summicron, there is still enough room to render objects in […]
