"I watched your webinar last night and found it very interesting. I love your style. I have for the most part only gone out with one lens, and I find that it makes more sense partly because of the weight and because I can be ready to shoot in an instant. Thank you for the eBbooks, I’m sure they will help me learn more..."

"Your work takes me back to my heros of the '50s . . . when I had the privilege of using one of the US Navy's last 3-lens Leica outfits. Your first free download book was like an all-night bull session with my art prof and his wife – tantalizing images, the lure of possibilities, recollections of the excitement indelibly attached to watching a good photo magically appear in the safelight's glow."

"Dear Thorsten,
I'm a big fan of yours, my introduction to and fascination with all things Leica basically began when I discovered your website. The brief article you posted today really touched me. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to write these articles and talk about your personal experiences with photography and the Leica experience. Though this was one of your briefest articles, it was one of the ones that I found the most touching, perhaps because you were very open about your personal experience of seeing your own images in print. And that strikes an important cord with photographers who have much less experience yet who dream of some day having the same good fortune."

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”.

"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."
