La douce France with the Leica CL
You can spend hours and days in the picturesque villages of the Allier, a region slightly north of the massif centrale. It’s really a lovely area where the weather is good in September. I didn’t touch my camera a lot, but neither did I intend to. Instead, I caught up on reading, took a swim […]
Dou and the Noctilux
Last Sunday, I had a shoot with Dou, an artistic nude art model from France. I wanted to see if she’s suitable for future Leica workshops. With my French being as rusty as her English, it was a bit of a challenge. I’ll let you decide whether you could work with her. I used the […]
Featured #7: Martin Krystynek
Today another great photographer that I noticed on the LFI gallery. He shoots Leica, Pentax and Sony. Enjoy! 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer) ‘I am self taught photographer. My professional career as a photographer starts in 2010, when I operated in South America, especially in Paraguay, where I gained […]

Today in Featured: Marc Wick, maybe know to you from the LFI Gallery. I really love his portrait work. Enjoy! 1) Can you tell a bit about your background (as a photographer) ‘I always liked photography but unfortunately I did not always have the time which I wanted. I have tried many fields of photography […]
Q&A: 28 Elmarit or Sumicron as only lens?
Today I received this email: Hi Joeri sorry, that I write you again. This morning, I had to return the M. It was really a joy to take pictures with it. I could test it in a lot of different situations, which I usually make pictures in. And now i´m fixed in, so i will […]
Q&A: Is the 50 Cron better than the 50 Summarit?
I got this mail a few days ago: Heya! I’ve read your reviews on both lenses but I got some questions. I do own the F2.4 50mm Summarit and i am very happy with it. It’s totally usable wide open and really sharp and smooth. Build quality is great, too. But you know the nagging […]
A Leica group shot: how I did it
Group shots are a nightmare for most photographers and I’m not an exception. While I’m quite comfortable with single person portraits, a group shot is completely different. The difference between these two has everything to do with being in control. With a single person corporate headshot I use my own portable studio, consisting of two […]
Dorus
Dorus is (slowly) getting bigger. He’s 11 months old now and while he used to gain more than a kilo a week, he now starts to get some serious muscles. Even though he could chew off my hand in a second if he wanted to, he’s incredibly kind and sweet. He does tear up the […]
Grandad
I still have two grandads, one of them being 92, the other 90. The grandad in this picture used to work in the Dutch air force. When I was a kid, I wanted to become a fighter pilot and my grandad used to tell me stories of the Gloster Meteor (the first allied jet fighter), […]
