The exterior app creates some kind of kinetic motion. This one creates a sort of push and pull feeling. If you use it too much you’ll end up blurred nothingness. It took a lot of experimenting to learn that. Hardness isn’t just found in steel and cement, it’s also found in my head.

There was a time when a client asked me to photograph food. Uh, wut? I’m not a food photographer. That’s a speciality within a speciality. It takes a lot of knowledge, skill and trickery.
