Julie (Part 1)

Julie wanted some Maxim Magazine style photos. It was an interesting day and I learned a lot.

At the end of a long and grueling day (I did not have an assistant) I had captured some beautiful images of her.

I always believed that a photographer should be able to work in many different fields of photography. I never understood specialization. I love to take pictures of anything. One might say that taking photographs of a beautiful girl is more exciting then taking pictures of a broken Heineken bottle or manikins but to me they are all equally exciting.

The way you work is very different as well. While still-life photography has almost meditative qualities since your subject does not move fashion has a very fast-pace while portraits are somehow in between.

Who wants to do the same thing every day? Not me. I like to mix things up. One day slow, one day fast and the next day in between.

I have to admit though that my heart lies in portraiture because it gives me the opportunity to meet people, get to know them a little bit and challenges me to capture their personality in a photograph.
