Landscape photography presentation
During this talk on landscape and nature photography I will discuss the 4 most important aspects of landscape photography: vision and style, preparation, composition, and the importance and use of light.Furthermore, I also talk aboutthe equipement needed for landscape photography and where to pay attention to if you wish to buy a newtripod, filters orcamera.
For this talk I made a selection of images which all have some kind of story behind them. Some images will lead me to talk about how the picture was taken and what makes it so special to me. Others will bring about a discussion about composition, light, use of filters or special techniques like exposure blending and focus stacking. In addition, a lot of tips and tricks will be offered during the talk. We will travel around the world and occasionally dive into Lightroom or Photoshop.
In this presentation you get a look behind the scenes of a professional landscape photographer. How are the best images being made? What kind of equipement do you use in challenging weather conditions? And how do you breathe life into your landscape photos? With inspiring images and practical photo tips & tricks I try to give an answer to all those questions.

Landscape photography presentation 'The hills of the Tour'
In this presentation I will tell you about my experiences whilst working on this project for two years. I will address questions as ‘How do you get started on a photo project?’ and ‘How do you bring nature and culture together?’.
During this presentation on the usage of filters in landscape photography I will illustrate why filters are necessary, and how and when to use them. Furthermore I will discuss different types of filters, namely graduated neutral density filters, neutral density filters, polarizing filters and “bigstoppers”. We will compare 3 filter systems: LEE, Formatt/Hitech and 84.5mm Filters. Each set will be available during the presentation for all participants to compare and test them. Finally we will also discuss situations where filters are inadequate and exposure blending could offer a solution.
During this presentation on macro photography, I will discuss the basics ranging from aperture and shutter speed, depth of field, focus, ISO, to exposure and histogram. I will also talk about abstract macro photography, composition and the importance of preparation and light. Furthermore I will talk about a more creative side of macro photography, in which depth of field and background play an important role. Finally, I will also discuss techniques like focus stacking and the use of extension tubes.
The topics of this presentation might vary according to the type of audience.
During this presentation on war photography I will take you on a long march through Flanders Fields. Over a two year period I documented the war sites and landscapes in Flanders Fields from both an aesthetic and a historical perspective. My area stretched from Nieuwport to Koksijde, stopping off at Veurne, Diksmuide, Ieper (Ypres) and Poperinge, and through the Heuvelland all the way to the northern French border at Wervicq and Comines.
During this talk on Adobe Lightroom, I will discuss the following items: JPEG vs. RAW, Lightroom settings, import and photo library, metadata, keywords, tagging and search, develop and export, generate output for web, print or slideshow, folder structure and backup. Subsequently we will also look at some of the advantages of Photoshop over Lightroom.
