Through inspiration on Twitter and here on Instagram, I came up with the idea of giving regular tips and tricks on photography and everything around it. These are based on my own experiences and those of others, and are intended to serve as a small, direct, loud and fun guide. So it's worth keeping an eye on this project, because you might learn a thing or two, or at least get a smile out of it. I’m going to post this tips as graphics on my socials (instagram, twitter) and will add posts...

Printing photos means experiencing them more intensely. A digital image may never be as real as a printed one. I mean, how many digital photos do you have that you have forgotten about? Printing gives you many tools to further shape your image. The type of paper - rough, glossy, matte or even with a special printing process - the size of the image and even the way it is presented, like a frame, can be used to tell the story of the image.

You arrive on set, get everything set up, take the camera out of your bag and after the first 10 shots, when you really start shooting, the battery goes dead. You panic. You are completely thrown, even if you have a spare battery. It's obvious that you should charge the battery, but you can't say it enough. It has happened to me often enough, especially because I have said spare battery with me. It's just stupid when it's empty. So it's best to be consistent and put t...
