tintinian on 500px

Since 53 years, I am an addicted photographer with more fascination for personal interpretation than technically possible. The last 10 years changed my life. Since the invention of digtial photography, I was able to make those things possible I only could dream of. Photoshop turned me into a creator, a creator of those things who never existed. Not everything you see is real, except for the creativity.
My Nikon D700 and Photoshop are my favorite tools! Please note that all my works are protected by copyright but can be ordered by e-mail.For personal use on your blog or so, feel free to use it but... mention me as the creator ok?
Have fun with your creativity and enjoy your visit here!
My working tools are:
Nikon D700 with batterypack
50mm f 1.4
24/70mm f 2.8
105mm f 2.8 micro nikkor VR
100/300mm f 4 APO
70/300mm VR
14/24mm f2.8
SB 900
and of course my studio equipment...

Rene from Holland. says:
"I can waste words saying things like most people do, like "extrememly good pictures, I am so glad, blah, blah, blah."
I won't. That's just small talk, and I don't like that, and I guess Tintinian neither....
It all comes down to a few things here on flickr.
Learning from each other ánd enjoying one's photos in a positive way.
He is honest and funny, always ready to help, a very good photographer, but without the cockiness or arrogance !
Enough said !

Mary and her camera says:
"Etienne is a wonderfully warm, supportive contact with the gift of being able to create photographic magic. Whatever he takes into his mind to immortalize, whether his beautiful grandson, a beautiful woman, or a slice of nature, he brings his best to the scene and leaves with yet another work of art.
He is truly an admirable photographer and wonderful friend.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support!"7th August, 2007

jamica2005 says:
"Het eerste werk van Tintinian dat ik een comment gaf, was de wondermooie landschapsfoto ‘Vielsalm’. Een foto die na meer dan een jaar, nog altijd succesvol is. Maar alle foto’s van Tintinian zijn kaskrakers. Hij heeft dan ook een erg uitgesproken stijl en voor mij althans erg herkenbaar: spiegelingen, reflecties, tropische dieren, naakten… en bovenal is hij een meester in de Photoshop!
Een uitgesproken voorkeur heb ik voor zijn uitzonderlijke portretten, in de schemerzone tussen foto en pasteltekening: grote ogen, perzikzachte huid. De verkoop van zijn Actions zou - zoals zijn prachtige foto’s - een megasucces kunnen zijn op Flickr!"20th July, 2007

texas bluebonnet says:
"WOW! I could spend hours looking at Tintinian's incredible photos (but not on company time!). Tintinian's photos show the kind of imagination that was made for this kind of photography and artwork. I believe that our lives are enriched by looking at beautiful things such as his photos. - A fan in TEXAS"

"Something about Tintinian.
He's my friend and he encouraged me to go with my pictures to Flickr.
I am very grateful he did this, because now I have seen some amazing photo's from so many people.
I find his work very proffesional, and he always try to make the best.
He takes time to do so.
From time to time he is giving me some good advise, and I like that very much.
Hope you can read my english."26th October, 2005

nepenthes says:
"I don't know who he is, I met him just two minutes ago, but his photostream looked so inviting I had to sit down and see the slideshow of his sets. I was so impressed by what I saw I felt compelled to write him a testimonial. What a gifted photographer; what a unique sense of space and time and reality he shows in his pictures; I love the eeriness present in some of his work. This, added to his innate originality and perfectionism, just made this photographer one of my faves on Flickr.
It is a pleasure to be able to se your photos!"9th October, 2005
