Colour Grading Tutorial: Kodak Spec-ad

December Preset: Japanese Blues

Hellooo :)

It's time to finish off the year with the last preset of 2023 - this is "Japanese Blues".

There's a popular look in especially Japanese photography that I've encountered that broadly could be described as high-key, hazy and blue. Inspired by that look and thinking that you might enjoy it too, I decided ...

November Preset: An old roll of Kodak Gold I found

Happy December, I hope you're having a decent end of the year! :)

The last weeks of November were a bit intense with the big project, the Kodak spec-ad and the behind the scenes, that I published yesterday. Therefore I just couldn't get around to making the Patreon-goods on time, I'm sorry about that!

Anyway the p...

Colour Grading Tutorial: "My favourite digital camera"

October Preset: Tumbling 100 times

Hello hello,

for this month I decided to share with you my edit from the last video of me falling/fooling around in front of the camera. Many enjoyed the look so I thought this might be worth sharing.

They all follow a pretty similar editing technique so I worked out decent mid-ground and made that the preset, so ...

The one Lighting Technique that changed everything for me.

September Preset: An old roll of Fuji I found

Hello hello!

Time to show you this month's preset :))

I called it "an old roll of Fuji I found". The preset will give your photos a faded green look with rough grain that reminds of what mildly expired film can look like. I've found that it works quite well as an all-rounder, so in the sun, in the shade or at nigh...

August LR preset: Urban Greys

End of month! That means, time for a new LR preset :D

August has been busy for me but actually not with photography, more with life stuff and setting up the new apartment and all the things that come with moving to a new city, so I actually haven't shot much this month and have been editing my backlog of Japan videos an...

Wallpapers June Edition

Hello hello,

I still owe you some posts from June, one of which are the wallpapers - as usual one horizontal and one vertical version.

The horizontal photo is from a day in Kamakura (a cute city south from Tokyo) in April - it's actually a little sneak peak for this week's video hehe :D I love how the composition ...

June Preset: Overcast Tokyo

A dive into my Lightroom Catalogue: Night-photography in Tokyo

May Wallpapers

Hello hello,

I hope you've had a good month of May. To end it I want to also give you one of my all-time favourite photographs as a wallpaper.

While this doesn't particularly fit the month of May nor is it anything from my new work I thought it'd be fun to look back into my catalogue of photographs from the past y...

May LR Preset: Cold Express

Hello hello,

it's time to present to you this month's preset! This look was a very impulsive decision as I was randomly recommended a little scene from Chunking Express. I was so in awe with the unique look of that scene and reeeally need to watch that film some time soon. But for now I have saved the feeling and look i...

April Wallpapers

Happy May! :)

I hope you've had a good start into May - I actually still owe you a post from April hehe.

Btw. I've decided to go with wallpapers instead of AE-files for now. So if you look at the tier benefits now you'll see that the backlog of AE-files stays and currently I plan to give you monthly wallpapers ins...

April LR-Preset: Muted Urban Look

Hello hello, it's time for this month's Patreon-Preset :D

Inspired by recent shoots in Tokyo I've designed this muted urban look that I think suits urban photographs pretty well if you're looking for a slightly moody but not overly stylised look.

Most colours are (as the name suggests) muted, except for skin tones...

March Wallpapers

Hello hello,

it's the last day of March and so let's end this month with some wallpapers! :D

As mentioned a month or so ago I've been thinking of retiring the AE-file, because it seemed that it's not of much value to you, so I switched to a Photoshop Action File once as it suited the month and this month I thought...

March Preset: Tokyo OT Look

Hello hello,

it's time for this month's LR-Preset! :D

Since coming to Japan I've been increasingly doing some street photography. As you might know, this is not my usual genre of photography, because I simply find other genres to be more enjoyable for me personally.

However in the last couple of weeks I've f...

Update

Hello hello,

I hope you've been having a good week so far! <3

Just wanted to post a short update: Last week's video, the conceptual photography on expired film video, was the last video from Austria until I return. Now it's time for the first video from Japan! :))

Here's a little sneak peak for this week'...

How to make CineStill 800T halations in Photoshop and After Effects

February After Effects File: CineStill 800T halations for your videos

Hello hello, February is coming to a close and so it's time for me to present to you what I've been working on for the Patreon content. For now I'm sticking to the After Effects file until I think of something else - I've been wondering, are high resolution wallpapers something you are interested in?

Anyway for this mon...

Update

Hello hello, just coming in with a quick update: I dropped off this month's postcards at the post office yesterday so they're on their way and should arrive to all of you in Europe very soon and overseas might take a little longer but maybe by the end of next week they'll arrive :)

Also here's a little sneak peak of tom...

February Preset: Goldie Look

Hello, it's time to show you what I've been working on for this month's Lightroom Preset: I present to you the "Goldie Look" preset :D

This month’s preset is inspired by Kodak Gold - it’s not an emulation, but I do think it gives off the warm golden feeling. The preset will focus on warm earthy and orange tones and ...

YouTube video update

Hello! :)

So it seems that some BTS content would be interesting and I love the idea of keeping you updated so here we go.

Here's a look behind the scenes from my B-Roll shooting session yesterday evening for this week's video - I'm not telling you what it's going to be, but maaaybe (or probably) you can already g...
