My muse is creating new worlds with toys, just to see what life is like at the edges of my imagination. Dave DeBaeremaeker by Skip Cohen Dave DeBaeremaeker joins me in this new episode of "Why?" This series is all about introducing you to some of the most creative and respected artists in photography. The process usually starts with a phone call and me asking the featured photographer to pick one of their favorite images to later talk about. The common denominator that often comes up is the response, "That's like asking me which of my kids I love the most!" It's not an easy assignment. Dave chose one of the first images he created, where he built everything on the set himself. Except for Kermit, Dave built it all from scratch. He shares a lot of helpful detail in the short podcast about how he built the components. It's one of Dave's attributes that I appreciate the most; his willingness to share his "secrets." With Dave, there aren't any! He describes his new book as a collection of everything he's learned about photographing miniatures. There are so few resources available...until now. Dave needs to be on your radar, regardless of your specialty in imaging. Dave's attention to detail, lighting, and composition is remarkable, and you might pick up ideas to raise the bar on your technique in other genres besides toy photography. Dave's website is just a click away, as well as his YouTube channel. You'll also see him sharing ideas on how he uses his Platypod gear in the Official Platypod Users Group on Facebook!
