Edwin van Wijk

I am a Dutch photographer and trainer in photography, Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

At a fairly young age I came into contact with photography, music and creation in general. Although I started making music from an early age, I didn't really get serious with the camera until later in life. By photographing with analogue SLR and compact cameras for a long time, I gradually developed my passion for photography. As a photographer I specialize in photographing (business) portraits, events and artists, but I also enjoy other forms such as landscape photography. Besides photography I give photography courses, studio workshops, private lessons on various subjects within the field and I organize photography trips to Iceland, Norway, France and Italy. In my photography I find myself more of an image maker than a photographer. I experience as much pleasure in editing the photo to get a certain atmosphere, as in photographing myself. Rarely are my images a pure representation of what I have photographed. I try to add atmosphere and experience by actually working with ancient darkroom techniques such as doing and burning.
