"Hi Thorsten , I purchased your Capture one survival kit last week and am making my way through it currently. I just wanted to thank you for a great production there is lots of great information there . Coming from the Lightroom background and previously having purchased the Lightroom survival kit, the concepts are congruent."

"After downloading your eBbook about composition and the photographer as a storyteller I started to look different at my pictures. During a short break in Elzas, France I took a picture and had it enlarged to size 60/90 and each day I look at it with a good feeling.
Thanks for your idea of always wearing a camera.
If I didn’t take it with me I would not have had a beautiful memory of what could have been a nice picture. The result is an argument to take a camera with me wherever I go."

"Unlike other books I’ve read on the subject of composition, the 'Composition in Photography - The Photographer as Storyteller' is not a reference manual (or imitation of such.) Thorsten Overgaard is quite frank from the very first pages that the purpose of the book is to inspire and share his experiences and techniques, rather than analyze the work of photographers as a gallery curator or an art critic would. I find that most approachable and practical way to teach someone something. Think about it like working with a vastly experienced co-worker and mentor, rather than sitting in a class. I love how hands-on and laid back Thorsten Overgaard's witting style is."

Overgaard's Leica Presets for: Lightroom CC Classic (7.4 -->)
Lightroom CC (version 1 through 7.2)
Lightroom CC (cloud-based 1.0)
I have made a few essential Presets for Lightroom which do minor adjustments to the Leica files, so as to get the tones exactly how I want them.
The Presets have as their ideal, the Leica M9 sensor, as well as the Kodachrome film (which also happens to be the ideal for Leica, when they developed the Leica M9 sensor). Not that it matters much, but that is the reason why I made my own Presets: To get the that look, rather than a “digital sensor look”.
