I KNOW WHERE THE LIGHT IS

Photo by Geert Snoeijer 

Everything and everyone has something to tell you. Whether it is a plant or a sheep, a jump in the water or a portrait. There is a light in everything - a look in the eyes, a posture, a composition. ​That light is what I am after. It makes a picture striking. It moves you. Because it is that light talking to you.
