NEW “Musings of a Landscape Photographer”

“Musings of a Landscape Photographer” tries to uncover a deeper truth about fine-art landscape photography. There’s a distinct philosophical trend among the essays that I’ve written over my career. Featuring over 100 high resolution images - my most precious work from the past decade - this book will help you understand what goes into the making of these moody and mystical images, accompanied through pensive, thought-provoking essays, categorized in 5 parts, titled ART, LIGHT, LAND, MOMENT & ADVICE. All with the primary goal to gain insight into my psychology; the most crucial and overlooked aspect of the resulting art. Musings of a Landscape Photographer captures the way I envision, photograph and post-process my images, making you a more original and better landscape photographer.

15 years in the making, 154 pages long and contains over 100 high-resolution images that I feel best describe my fine-art landscape portfolio.

“Musings of a Landscape Photographer” is written in English. Download the e-book below.

“Call of the Mountains” Mountain Photography E-Book

Learning Landscape Photography among the Giants

Let’s go to the mountains together!

In my third E-Book, we’re taking an ever sparsely populated footpath through the treeline and into the mountains. In this 143-page interactive PDF, you will learn all there is to learn about two of my workflows in mountain landscape photography. First off all, “Ghostly Mountains”, as I coined the term, are my telephoto images that perhaps tell more about the photographer than the photographed. Nevertheless, there is a specific set of techniques both in the field an in the digital darkroom that you will learn here. Next are the wide-angle “Epic Mountains” in which we find a sprawling foreground to accompany those seemingly vast peaks. How do you get your mountains looking impressive with a wide angle? And how does that color palette create such moody feelings? These and many more questions will find answers in here.

• 143 page interactive PDF

• Widescreen format and high-res images and screenshots

• Comprised of five parts, much like the format of “Woodland”, but with all different approaches that make photographing the mountains so very specialized.
