BEHIND THE SCENE

Composition is one of the most important concepts in photography. While on location, I always try to simplify the scene in front of me.

I use various tools and techniques. Lens choice is one of the most powerful decisions you will make, as it allows you to physically crop out undesired details in the camera.

If that’s not enough, and assuming you have the right conditions, I find that by underexposing dramatically, one eliminates unnecessary detail.

Backlight on a beautiful iceberg, together with a dark backdrop (the shady side of the mountain), provided the perfect conditions for a low-key image.
