Photography subjects
While not a birder, birds are great subjects for wildlife photography, and the bigger the better. I am lucky enough to live near a colony of Grey Herons – these birds are absolutely fantastic to study and capture in camera – which is why they have a section of their own in my small portfolio. In addition to this I do quite a bit of macro or closeup photography. Less interested in creating extreme closeups of bugs, and more in capturing an interesting combination of shapes, structures and colours, though often with a bug in there somewhere! At some point there will also be a section with my non-nature photos on the site – stay tuned for more about that!

Ethics
In nature: Respect for everything living should always be at the core of every aspect when photographing nature – true success comes from capturing that special moment without causing disturbance to either plant or animal – or human for that matter. In post-production: I try as much as possible to stay true to the moment as experienced on location – if the image requires major operations in Photoshop to make me happy, it was not a good enough image to begin with. Favourite editing tool is Lightroom, where more than 95% of the editing is done.

Equipment
I shoot almost exclusively with Nikon equipment – at my own expense. Tried my fortune with both Sony Mirrorless and Fuji (both great systems by the way) but my hands felt most at home when gripping a Nikon, so there you go. As much handheld as possible, but occasionally a tripod or even monopod comes in handy, especially for certain types of macro work. Natural light only for outdoor work, flash possibly for the occasional studio production.

This website
This is a WordPress site, with a Pro package for photographers (by Themegoods) as base, and then tweaked to my liking. More functionality may come with time, but the focus for now has been to create a clean, modern site with full attention on what matters the most – the photographs. Hope you like it!
