When asked to describe the influences behind his imagery, Tjeerd Paul Jacobs says that cinematography taught him a lot about camera angles, storytelling, lighting and color grading, while street photography taught him to embrace any type of light and step out of his comfort zone. “On a wedding day I’m very much intuitive and gravitate to the little moments, interesting light and strong compositions.” On average, he delivers around 300 edited images at a 10-hour wedding. “Before batch-editing all my favorite images, I create a color grade that complements the look and feel of the wedding day.”
