Eiði - The Faroe Islands

I stayed a couple of days in the village of Eiði, The Faroe Islands earlier in July. I was working on a photography project for a local restaurant in the next town, called Ljósa. I made this little video for the restaurant, check it out here.

In between shooting at the restaurant I had some time for a little stroll or two through Eiði and look at the town in a bit of a different way. Not the typical tourist way, but more in a street and urban photography kind of way.

I’ve visited the Faroe Islands about 7 times now, and after every visit I start to get more and more into shooting street/urban kind of style here. The Faroe Islands are just perfect for that!

Workshop in "Het Leudal" // The last colors of Autumn

Today I gave another photography workshop in my local nature reserve. “Het Leudal” for two nice guys from Belgium. My clients were really into learning how to find new compositions, look for leading lines, framing, and just looking and experiencing a forest (in this case) for photography. Also very much to just slow down and enjoy nature ofcourse.

We did walk about 9km through the area and encountered a lot of nice places. Some Leudal classics, and beautiful random encounters. Some interesting conversations about photography accompanied us during our walks. We all had a great day. Thank you for joining me today guys, and to you: Thanks for checking out this blogpost. Below is a selection of photographs from today.

Beautiful Blooming Heather Photography

Waking up early has always been the secret to capturing the most breathtaking moments in nature. As the first rays of dawn began to streak the sky, I found myself among the blooming heath, adorned with delicate flowers in vibrant hues. The air was crisp and calm, carrying the whispers of anticipation. Patiently, I set up my camera, adjusting every lens and dial with precision. In the tender morning light, the heath seemed to come alive, each petal awakening with the promise of a new day. As I waited for the sun to crest above the horizon, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty unfolding before me. The colors danced and mingled, creating a symphony of vibrant imagery. The stillness of the early morning amplified my appreciation, as if time stood still just for this moment. I truly love that serene atmosphere.

A rainy morning in the forest

Today I woke up early, headed to the forest and show a few snaps. The rain didn’t stop me. I actually liked it, as it added some mood to the photographs.

Forest photography in the rain is a captivating and ethereal experience. As the raindrops cascade through the lush green canopy, the forest comes alive with an enchanting atmosphere. The rain adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the photographs, creating a soft and dreamlike ambiance. The moisture in the air enhances the vibrant colors and textures of the foliage, making them appear more saturated and vivid. Every droplet becomes a reflection of the beauty within the forest, transforming ordinary scenes into extraordinary moments.

Through the lens, one can capture the dance of rain-kissed leaves, the glistening bark, and the delicate balance between light and shadow. Forest photography in the rain is an opportunity to explore the hidden corners of nature, revealing its secrets and inviting viewers into a world of tranquility and awe.
