I had a great shoot with the lovely model Heather. She would like to have some beauty lighting images. So of course we did a shoot with that lighting setup. One of the characteristics of that type of lighting is the fact that the hair needs to be pulled backwards […]

A year ago, I bought a small pot with chives herbes at our local supermarket. I didn’t need all of it and decided to plant it in our garden. Now, a year later, the chives plant survived the winter without any problems and had grown up big time. A few weeks […]
