Well, as the title suggests, this is a photoblog from a non-photographer. My name is Jakob Kahlen I’m a 30 years old Art Director from Copenhagen, Denmark who just happens to like photography. I’m especially into streetphotography and portraits.
The site is my way of sharing pictures with family, friends and colleges, but anyone else is more than welcome to take a peek.

Hi Kahlen,
Excellent photography! You obviously have a trained eye for composition and light yet you keep your shots feeling free flowing and spontaneous. I always appreciate good street photography.
I have a question for you regarding these two shots (nyc_1508_marge.jpg and nyc_1508_jones_2.jpg). I love the white/bleached color grading and crisp contrast of subjects used here, it brings a surreal clarity to the shots. Could you tell me what post processing techniques you have employed?
Keep shooting,
Hilary

Hi Hilary!
I have this great trick that a photographer ones taught me. You duplicate your images to a new layer above the original image. Desaturate the top layer and chose “soft light” or “hard light” as layer mode. This will give you a nice contrast in seconds on almost any shot.

hi,
i just want to know what type of camera you use to get these great shots?

I’m using a Canon 20D camera, which I truely love. If you’re in the process of buying a new camera, I would check out the Canon 40D, which basically is the new model of the camera I’m using.

Hi Kahlen
Just followed your trail from 1508.
Amazing images … I really like the quality you’ve pushed from your iPhone. Never gave much credit for the camera within … might give it a shot now.
