Influence
Both in painting and in photography I am greatly influenced by the great artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Rembrandt. In my portraits I try to emulate the lighting and colour palette that these artists have used in their paintings. As lighting I try to use simple lighting and more often than not I use one single light source. I do so for various reasons, such as:
1. Flexibility to assemble on location

2. Consistency in style
3. Realism - in nature we find one main light source, that is the sun.
