Laflor – stock photographer

4.5 months ago a miracle happened. My baby boy, Kiran, was born. I am in love! Together with my new assignment of fatherhood, in the past few months I have been producing literally thousands of images.

. Yuri Arcurs: “This system is part of my daily workflow. It works flawlessly and should be a standard tool for all microstock photographers. I would pay a lot of money for it, if I had to!” WHAT CAN THE SYSTEM DO? Sometimes our images are slightly out of focus, forcing us to downsize until [...]

Right now I’m developing a medical shoot I did a while ago. It is so important to have credible styling. My stylist and I always try to reserve plenty of time for thorough research on the theme we shoot. What are the “real life” people doing, and how are they doing it. What props will [...]

… well not that I shoot anything else but stock! Note thyselves that these images have not been through retouch yet. They are just meant as a preview for you ever hungry designers out there.
