ISO-100, 1/100 sec at f/5. Canon EOS-R, 110mm, Off-Camera FlashI captured this playful portrait inside the Chef School’s kitchen. Since I was pressed for time and aiming for a playful, candid approach, I opted for a simplified setup. I bounced a couple of Jinbei HD-600V flashes off the ceiling which effectively lit most of the area without me having to pose each individual and the small groups of chefs for the light.
Lightroom Edit: I applied a 1970s Kodachrome preset by Ted Forbes, as the image had a very ‘seventies’ feel to it.

The more abstract forms of photography like impressionism and minimalism intrigue me. I prefer creating images that depict energy, mood, and silence. To illustrate my themes, I use mainly long exposures, selective focus, and focus blur. My philosophy is that the camera is just a paintbrush and that thought-provoking images stem from a developed mind.
