This little cute dog of my sister, Saartje. I had the chance to photograph her because my sister wanted a beautiful picture of her on the wall. What a magnificent model isn't she?

I was in her garage cum studio transformed into a vibrant haven, filled with hand-woven treasures. Rajini, the beating heart of Kudil, proudly showcased each piece, her eyes sparkling with the stories behind them.

This image was taken at one of the Marriott Hotels in Fort Lauderdale. At first, I couldn't find anything interesting within a 90-degree angle of my view. Then I looked up at the ceiling and imagined a girl reaching for the lamps. It was a quick, 60-second photo shoot since I had to pull the girl away from her party just to capture this shot.

Using professional lighting setups and flash, the image was carefully composed to bring out the subject's natural beauty. The high-end retouching process further refined the details, ensuring a flawless finish that enhances the overall aesthetic.
This is a picture of a girl who came here along with her parents and little sister for a family photoshoot. Naturally she also wanted to have some photos of herself, but then alone. This is one of those photos and it turned out wonderful and gorgeous.

At one of my own workshops I invite beginner photographers to come with me to this amazing castleruin in the south of the Netherlands. Shiva the golden retriever was one of the models this evening, she was so kind and relaxed at that moment. I couldn't resist to take a picture of her at this setting. I really love the magical light at the end of the evening at this place, it gives even more fairytale vibes.
