In the first part of this article, I discussed the process of additive selection in culling photos. This approach leaves me with many images I love, but a set of beautiful photos doesn’t necessarily tell a story. The next stage is where the real work begins: transforming those files into a cohesive body of work that carries my signature, embodies my vision, and tells the story I have in mind.

The past few days here in Ecuador, where I’m currently photographing, have once again convinced me that not only life, but also nature, is like a box of chocolates. Especially here in the tropics, you never know what sweet—or occasionally rather sour—piece Pachamama has prepared for you. Usually, during a shoot, I end up sampling a bit of everything.

Selecting photographs after a trip, or even after a simple shooting session, is an essential phase of photography that transforms a large collection of files into a refined selection of standout images. The first part of this article (which is divided into two parts) describes a fast culling method that, instead of going through all the photos to delete the less successful ones, focuses on the best images from the start, quickly bringing to light what truly expresses my vision.

As a wildlife photographer, there’s nothing more exciting than going to places unknown and unexplored. Everything around you is a new composition, just waiting to be discovered. But I like to think that all concepts have a counterpart. In this case, I think the counterpart of endless exploration would be peacefully exploring a single, well-known subject that you’ve had in mind for a long time. Recently, I finished a project on one such single subject: the Prairie Crocus. Continue Reading » - Posted on Tuesday May 05, 2026
Last week, my big task was to work on our printer and make test prints on dozens of different paper types. Then I met up with Nasim over the weekend, and we narrowed it down to just a few of our favorites. What do you look for in a paper? The brightness of the highlights, the depth of the blacks, the surface texture, the warmth or coolness? I probably spent more time thinking about that last week than the rest of my life combined! I still need to make some more test prints, but things are progressing quickly. Meanwhile, as I tested different papers, a few things happened in the greater photography world that you might want to know about. Continue Reading » - Posted on Sunday May 03, 2026
In nature, chaos sometimes reigns supreme, and building clean compositions as a wildlife photographer is difficult. High-key photography is, in a way, the opposite.
