I’ve always found it interesting how much the aspect ratio can change the feeling of a photo.

I use 3:4 for most of my photography because I love the extra space it gives the image while still feeling natural and balanced.

But sometimes a different ratio just fits the composition better.

Which aspect ratio do you use most?

When I first started photography, I thought better gear would make better photos.

Looking back, these are the three things that improved my photography the most:

• Finding the right light instead of rushing the shot.
• Using colors to tell a story and create mood.
• Paying attention to the foreground to add depth and lead into the scene.

None of these require expensive equipment. They simply change the way you see a landscape or subject.

Which one do you think is the most important one?

Your eyes don't zoom the way a camera does 🌄

Every focal length changes the way we tell a story. A 14mm lens can make you feel like you're standing inside the scene, while a 400mm lens can isolate details that would otherwise go unnoticed.

Fun fact: Most smartphone capture an image roughly equivalent to 24–28mm on a full-frame camera when using x1 zoom.

What kind of photographer are you? 🏔️

Some places are worth visiting just because they're beautiful.
Others have one thing that makes the entire trip worth it.

A giant waterfall.
A 2,000-year-old tree.
Puffins.
The Milky Way.
Red cabins.

How much editing is too much? 🤔

This is my complete editing workflow for one of my photos shot in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

It starts with 3 bracketed images, which I merge into a HDR photo in Lightroom Classic. From there I make the basic adjustments before moving into Photoshop, where I add the final touches.

For this image I added light in the windows and lamppost, some smoke from the chimney, subtle haze, light rays, overall color adjustments and a few finishing touches to bring everything together.

Some photographers prefer to keep their edits as natural as possible. Others enjoy using Photoshop to create the image they imagining it.
I usually don't use this much time on a photo, but sometimes I really want to give it everything.

There isn't really a right or wrong approach. It's simply different styles of photography.

👇 Could you make this much change to one of your own photos?

Whenever I'm planning a trip, Google Earth is one of the first places I visit.

It's helped me discover viewpoints, plan compositions and decide exactly where I want to stand before I even arrive.

Not all location on the Google Earth platform looks picture perfect, but then it's good the location can be beautiful anyway.

👇 Which comparison surprised you the most?

Is it possible to spend to much time editing a photo? 😁

Most of the time, editing helps bring a photo closer to how I experienced the moment. Sometimes it's only a few small adjustments, and other times it takes a bit extra to get it just right.

Here is a collection of some of my RAW vs edited photos from the past few years.

👇 How many minutes or hours do you usually spend on editing?

There are hundreds of great cameras, lenses and accessories out there, and everyone has their own recommendations. These are simply the things I would look for if someone asked me how to build their first photography kit.

Photography can feel overwhelming when you're starting out.
- Which camera should I buy?
- Which lens do I need?
- Is a tripod necessary?
- What accessories are actually worth buying?

Instead of trying to cover everything, I wanted to create a quick guide that helps you make good decisions based on the type of photography you enjoy.

One thing I hope you'll remember is this:
- Don't wait until you have the "perfect" kit.

Go outside. Photograph often. Learn your camera. Over time you'll naturally discover what gear is worth investing in.

I'd also love your help.
If you've been photographing for years, what advice would you give someone buying their very first camera?

Let's make the comments a place where beginners can learn from all of us 👇

Before buying anything, ask yourself one simple question.

What do you actually want to photograph?

🌄 Landscapes

🦅 Wildlife

✈️ Travel

Your answer will help you make much better decisions when choosing your first gear.

The camera body is important, but don't get caught up in megapixels.

Instead, look for things like:

• Reliable autofocus
• Comfortable grip
• Good battery life
• Weather sealing if you shoot outdoors
• Easy-to-use menus
• A lens system that offers room to grow

A camera you enjoy using is always better than one with better specs that stays at home.

Your first lens will probably have a bigger impact than your first camera.

Think about:

• The focal length you actually need
• Weight and size
• Image quality
• Maximum aperture
• Weather sealing
• How versatile it is

Choose a lens that matches the subjects you enjoy photographing.

Not everyone needs a tripod.

If you enjoy landscapes, waterfalls, sunsets or night photography, it's one of the best investments you can make.

Look for:

• Stability
• Weight
• Folded size
• Maximum height
• A strong tripod he

Is Faroe Islands a place you'd like to visit one day?

I've been there several times now, and every visit feels just as special as the first. The landscapes, the weather, the light... it changes constantly, and that's exactly what makes photographing the islands so rewarding.

A collection of some of my favorite moments I've captured through my lens over the years.

I'm already looking forward to returning.

👇 Have you ever been to the Faroe Islands?

The 24-70mm is my favorite lens 📸

If I could only bring one lens on most trips, this would be that lens.

It's incredibly versatile. Wide enough for landscapes, long enough for details, and perfect for everything in between. All photos here is shot with the this lens, even though they look completely different.

A great lens doesn't make the photo, but it can give you the flexibility to capture almost any scene you come across.

👇 Which photo is your favorite?

And if you could only own one lens, which focal length would you choose?
