Waterdrop photography might sound like a very niche process, but it’s one that utilises creative techniques and allows photographers to practice capturing high-speed movements. It’s also great fun! In this masterclass I’ll teach you all about waterdrop photography and show you how to get the most out of this technique. WHAT IS WATERDROP PHOTOGRAPHY? Simply put, this is a high-speed photography technique where you capture a water droplet bouncing off water’s surface.

There are also a few variations on waterdrop photography. Waterdrop refraction photography is where you photograph waterdrops suspended on an object, such as glass or a leaf. You can then add in…

Over the years, I’ve noticed two main interesting contradictions about being a photographer in the modern world. The first is that it is easier than ever to take high quality photos with your cell phone, yet most of us don’t really take better pictures - we just take more of the same old pictures that we always have.

They don’t necessarily speak the language better - in fact, they generally speak it worse - but being a bit tipsy can lower inhibitions and prompt them to speak more than they normally would. They don’t speak the language…

Moving to a new home near the Marselisborg forests south of Aarhus, Denmark, has been very soothing, and it opened up an area quite unknown to me. I quickly discovered the serene atmosphere of this forest just a hundred meters from my home, even though until recently, forests haven't been my go to place when spending time in nature. Early mornings chasing wild animals and the ever changing plant life with my camera provided me new inspiration. An idea of a seasonal video project from my local area began to take shape. This project shows the seasonal transformation during the three months of spring in my local forest through timelapse photography and real time video shots. GEAR: Shot on Canon 5D Mark III and Mark IV Canon 16-35 f4L Canon…
