Into The Woods



Hey, I’m Dirk! I’m a professional photographer and digital artist and photo manipulator, who has spent the majority of his career shooting landscapes, composing and manipulating images and creating imagery for book covers, wall art, developing design resources like textures, brushes and overlays and much more. 


After somehow abandoning my blog over the last years, I wanted start over with writing posts and creating inspiring and helpful content for other photographers and artists on this blog.


I try to post something new  each week, focussing on my work in general, on photo editing, the software I use and more.
