Meet Prasanna. This is Asanka's brother whom I met during my trip to Sri Lanka last month. (See previous post).
Asanka runs a small cafe/restaurant/guesthouse just outside Ella, Sri Lanka together with his father and brother. He is a joyful, energetic, bubbly character and I couldn't resist asking to take his portrait. It turns out Asanka is becoming a quite well known person among travellers to Ella. Try Googling "Asanka" and "Ella" and you will see what I mean.

A 5,5 minute long exposure on a beach in the South of Sri Lanka.
I have returned from my travels to Sri Lanka. This is one of the shots I took there I would like to share with you. I took it on the walls of the fort of Galle, an ancient town on the South coast which dates back to the VOC-era. (The light in the tower is a flash I placed there....)
It has been a long time since I did some architectural photography. Today was a brilliant day to do some photographs of these buildings on the border of the Gooimeer in Huizen, Netherlands. The weather was deadcalm and there was a bright sun in the southern sky. To make the water even smoother and to 'get rid of' the ducks and geese bobbing around on the water, I did a very long exposure of around 4 minutes using a ND-filter to let the light slowly seep into the camera-lens.
The only photoshop here is some slight sharpening of the architecture and removal of two dust spots.
Like many of my photographs this image is available in print. For information on any work, drop me a line at jos@jkimages.nl
Halloween is around the corner. An intense and scary photograph I took together with model Kees.

I have not been posting a lot on my blog (i.e. on facebook) lately; I have been very busy with assignments for a couple of weeks.
Just to let you know that I am still at it: taking great photographs for my clients.

A result from a wedding I did photography for. Before the ceremony I took the bride and groom around the castle at Wijk bij Duurstede and we had fun doing some conventional and some unconventional wedding-photographs.
After a fantastic summer-break I am back to doing some cool photoshoots and posting some results on my website.
Here is an awesome result of a photoshoot I did with Mike van Amelsfoort yesterday. Mike had wanted a photoshoot with bodypaint-tattoos for a long time. The body paint is done by the wonderful Syl Verberk of sylliefaces.nl. Check out her work on her website.
An image from my photoshoot with model Johan I am very happy with. Take a model, add some make up, some acrylic paint, some feathers and a stick. Get the lighting right. And shoot.

Last week I had a photoshoot with the three beautiful daughters of someone who has been following my work for a while.
In between set-ups with my studio-lights I decided to take this picture of one of the daughters, Laura, only using ambient light falling in from the window above her. Behind Laura is a black backdrop, which accounts for the dark background.
