Extrema Outdoor pt.2
Last year, I experimented with a particular semi-compact setup for photography during other work on events and festivals. During a weekend at Extrema, I equipped myself with my modern Canon R6 paired with a manual vintage Soviet-era lens, famously known as the Helios 44. This forced me to work only with manual focus and no zoom options. As someone who primarily shoots digital with autofocus, this was an interesting new take on the photography experience.
The manual focusing has its downsides and I wouldn’t use it for the majority of the shots during a paid gig but I enjoyed not having the AF going all crazy on me in the midst of the flashing lights and jumping ravers 😉

Some top-down aerial photography I was able to capture during the process of our final Space & Service Design project at Thomas More, where we worked with the entire team on an experience center concept for the park and its visitors. It was a unique experience to work with around twenty people on the same project, but focusing on different challenges, opportunities, and spaces in smaller sub-groups.
The end result culminated in an immersive poster exhibition with a large pitch presentation on these different challenges. The aerial images seen here had little to do with the actual work within the project. Still, for me, they were an extra way to immerse myself in the topic/location and to literally gain different perspectives on the location at hand.

Some snippets from my visit to @lovetomorrow_be exactly one month ago. A day filled with insightful and 'average' talks in the unique Tomorrowland festival setting, that alongside networking and casual job hunting. (hire me pls)
Don’t ask me about the afterparty, unfortunately, I didn’t make it to that part of the day for once ;)
Looking back on an older fashion shoot I did 2 years ago with entrepreneur @lynnmikolajczak , the founder of the @the_acquired app for fashion lovers who want to organize their wardrobe on their phone.
When I look back on this small shoot, I think it was all about achieving something elegant with a very minimal setup and organization. This was one of those shoots where we didn't try to change the atmosphere of the scene, didn't bring backup gear, lights, or special lenses/prisms. No assistants, just the camera, the model, and me as the photographer. Shooting projects like this always tend to feel liberating and stressful at the same time.
