REd Sky Photograph

I have been a fine art photographer for the past 30 years. Originally from Belgium, I have lived in France, Switzerland, Ireland, Tunisia and finally put my bags down 20 years ago in New Orleans, Louisiana. I love photographing landscapes, nudes, and urban settings. I started with the old school passing time in the darkroom and shooting, processing, and printing from film, specializing in full negative medium format. I became interested in digital photography and the digital image process 7 years ago and have since worked to develop my own style. Art is everything to me: it is my everyday balance. I love to photograph landscapes, or nudes, and then edit the photos in my own artistic way. I work with color which aids in my creativity, but I do rely and revert to black and white for stronger effect. I search for the perfect balance between tones of color, or the Zone System range in order to visually pass an emotion, a feeling, a state of being in my images. I strive to ensure that each viewer has an emotional reaction/feeling when they see my photos.
