Our Inspiration WE like very dramatic type photos, inspired by world famous movies such as Amelie Poulain by Jean Pierre Jeunet, Angela of Luc Besson, War Horse by Steven Spielberg, Gone with the Wind by Victor Fleming, Gladiator by Ridley Scott. When we take a portrait we try to make it like a movie poster with the drama look. We shot a full series of photos for about 8 years in Paris where every shot would look like as it comes straight out of a movie. Some of my photos are heavily retouched, some not. What matters is the emotional impact, do people get something out of it or not? Our Tools We shoot with a Canon 5D Mark 2, Canon 7D. For landscapes we use mainly the Canon 17-40 F4 and sometimes the Canon 24-70 2.8. When we shoot portraits we also use the Canon 70-200 F4, but mostly the 17-40. We retouch most photos with Lightroom, and if really needed, the finish touches in Photoshop. Our workflow has really evolved from mostly Photoshop to 90% Lightroom and 10% Photoshop. We also use to do a lot of HDR using Photomatix, but we use this less and less as we can get a more natural pleasing result using just one raw file with Lightroom. Sometimes if the scene has a lot of contrast we will do several exposures and blend them using the layers in Photoshop. This technic is also called digital blending. Favorite Plugin company is Nik software, now Google. We also shoot a lot with the ND 1000 filter for long exposures effects. Our Passion Creating images for people to enjoy is the most amazing job in the world :-)
