Ork de Rooij's photostream  

My background:
I've been an enthusiastic photographer ever since my parents put a cheap compact in my hands decades ago. In the last couple of years I have expanded this to professional photography, and since 2009 I've started with model photography as well.

My style:
For me, photos do not stand on themselves, but are part of a story. This also holds for my shooting style. I love writing small stories based on an idea, or for a specific model. These stories then set the mood for the shoot. They help with choosing the location, the clothing styles, and the required lighting. They also aid with capturing the right poses and expressions during the shoot itself. I'm happy when somebody is able to retell me the original story just by looking at the pictures.

Experience:
Though I have no official photography schooling, and learned most if not everything by myself, I've rarely let go of an opportunity to learn more. I have experience in both studio photography, indoor/outdoor location photography, know how to use several portable light set ups, and have worked with dozens of models already.
