The Landscape Photo Guy

“You can find pictures anywhere and in ordinary places, it’s simply a matter of noticing them.”


I’m Guy Lambrechts, a Belgian photographer specializing in landscape, architecture, and nature photography. Initially, I snapped family pictures and holiday shots just for fun, but soon I felt compelled to enhance my skills and grasp the nuances of capturing the finest moments with my camera. My passion for photography flourished as I discovered the profound influence of framing, lighting, and camera settings on my early landscape photographs.

Can everyone Take beautiful pictures?

Imagine you are returning back home after a fine day out or even after a long day at work. The sun starts to set, and suddenly you see a perfect scene. It is breathtaking.  You stop and grab your camera.

HOW COME I COULD NOT CAPTURE THE REAL BEAUTY?

You want to capture this spectacle of colours and light before the sun completely disappears. And you make sure you take a dozen photos. You rush home and feel excited. While downloading your files on your computer, you discover your images are not as sparkling as you expected. The composition is fine. The colours are comparable with the real image. But you miss that overwhelming sense of beauty that you spotted. To put it bluntly: your photo lacks emotion. What did you miss out?

FROM SNAPSHOT TO BEAUTIFUL PICTURE

Thousands of tourists may snap hundreds of thousands of photos, hoping to care a breathtaking postcard view. Immersed in the moment, they often overlook minor details, such as a distracting garbage lurking in the corner of their frame or unsightly traffic sign.  Or being focused on their object, they did not notice that ugly traffic sign. Not to mention the other wandering tourists with their inseparable selfie sticks cluttering your images. Moreover the presence of other tourists wielding their ubiquitous selfie sticks can clutter their images further. Out of the multitude of  photographs taken, only e few likely succeed in conveying the emotional essence of that particular moment. Rarely do these images encapsulate the sensations experienced when the shutter button was pressed.  And, of course, many of them don’t even bother to take time to look at their screen or viewer when pointing at their potential object. Furthermore, many individuals fail to take the time to review their composition on the screen or viewer before capturing their intended subject.

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY Appears SIMPLE

Landscapes are highly accessible to all of us, omnipresent during our journeys. Moreover, unlike people, landscapes remain stationary seemingly ideal subjects.  And yet, despite this apparent simplicity many individuals feel dissatisfied with their results upon returning home.

SORTS OF LANDSCAPES

Landscape photography can cover a very wide range of photos. From the original genre a number of subgenres developed such as cityscapes, seascapes, waterscapes, winterscapes, gardenscapes, mountainscapes, forestscapes, etc. …. Sometimes the distinction with nature photography is difficult to make.
