Rio de Janeiro is a photographers paradise. There is so much beauty in Rio. You become happy the first day you arrive and at the last day you do not want to leave.
The next Phototour / photography workshops will be in the last week of December 2019 and the beginning of Jan. 2020. I can’t wait!!
De fotoreis naar Rome heeft de volgende keuze mogelijkheden: straatfotografie, documentair, storytelling, architectuur fotografie.
De keuze Storytelling betekent dat je naast verschillende soorten fotografie ook andere media kan gebruiken: tekeningen, gevonden snippers, geluid, film.
En dat je het op een bijzondere manier presenteert (als fotoboek, dagboek of story op instagram): allemaal tot doel om jouw verhaal zo goed mogelijk over te brengen.
Chance, luck, coincidence .. what is the role of luck in photography?
In my opinion: big, but you have to grab the chance, so you have to be ready to shoot when ‘it’ happens.
The trip to Rio de Janeiro (Jan. 2018) was not an acception.
This building from architect Calatrava is amazing and its interior delivered me already many great pictures. It is the Museu do Amanha or: Museum of the Future .. and many many people mostly from Rio wanted to see what is in store and even more: will the future be better?
But I came for one specific picture at the head of the building, but I could not get there (fences and a man in uniform kept me from there) so i had to go to the side and suddenly saw the beautiful lines in the white ceiling and one man, just one man in a black suit checking something or maybe making a selfie, who knows, but i pointed my camera, pressed the release button just before he disappeared.
Luck + quick response + the camera ready for any possible shot.
