My new exhibition at the Festival International Nature Namur 2019

September 24, 2019 / No Comments

This year again, I will be present at the Festival International Nature Namur 2019, in Namur, Belgium to show a selection of my images. After my exhibition of last year on the Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument, the title of my exhibition this year is “Sylvian Polychromies” showing trees in all their colourful glory!
Come and visit it in Namur from October 17th to 20th. I will be located in the Château des Comtes (Citadelle), happy to welcome you.
The Festival is home to many other photographic exhibitions, all centered on nature and its beauty, wildlife, plants, and, of course, landscape. Entrance to all exhibitions is free of charge, so enjoy!

IGPOTY 2019

2nd place at the IGPOTY 2019 competition

February 10, 2019 / No Comments

I spent last Friday in London to attend the prizes award ceremony of the International Garden Photographer of the Year 2019 competition. I had sent in three images and my photograph “Secret Garden” had been selected as a finalist in the “Wildflower Landscapes” category. And I heard at the ceremony that I was awarded second place in that category! Unexpected but really nice!
“Secret Garden” will thus be part of the IGPOTY 2019 exhibitions and will also be included in the IGPOTY 2019 book. Continue Reading…

Soon a new look for the website

June 21, 2018 / No Comments

It has been a long time that I have been thinking about updating the look of my website. Not only does the look need an update but also several things are not working as they used to, such as galleries, or even the front page.
So, it is time for a change!

It means that, in the coming weeks, the website will be sometimes unavailable. But no worries, it is coming back soon with a new look 🙂

One of them is a single photo in the Landscape category while the other one, in the mini-portfolio category includes four images.

A quick look at the Sleeklens Through The Woods workflow for Lightroom

August 4, 2017 / No Comments

Recently, I have been contacted by the PR Relations Manager from Sleeklens, asking me if I would test and review their Through The Woods workflow. The agreement was that I would review the workflow honestly, without bias.
As was already the case earlier (see my review of printing at zor.com), this decided me to accept the request.
Here are my first impressions about the Through The Woods presets and brushes.
To illustrate this post, I used a few images from one of my trips to Northern Aragon (Spain) and the French Pyrenees.

Ordering at Zor.com - My plexiglass test print, finally completely out of its packaging

How I print my pictures (part 2)

May 10, 2017 / No Comments

As mentioned in part 1, this post has been in my drafts folder for some time already. So prices that are mentioned below have probably changed in the meantime.

After my previous post about printing my images at Authentic, I thought that it would be useful to describe my experience with a newcomer on the market for printing images in Belgium (and France). Zor.com is a new internet printer, specialized in direct printing on several types of boards in a relatively limited range of sizes. Where they differ from the many other printers available today on internet is their prices. Surprisingly low compared to their competition.
They print on Dibond, acrylic glass, forex, carboard, and canvas.
