Hello Benjamin, you (and people you joined forces with, Renee Robyn, 5knightsproductions, Rebecca Bathory and others) are a huge inspiration to me.

I would like to do complex shoots. I know the planning and lighting and team coordination, so technical side is not an issue. My question is: given a location with potential (such as cool abandoned house or interesting outdoor place) - how would you approach to make it look epic on the image? What would be your ideas, what to try, to enhance the location, e.g. using some lighting approach, bringing in some props, special effects, etc?

Many thanks for the reply! It is awesome to have opportunity to exchange words here. I have noticed actually that I have similar way of thinking about images, so I dig into conceptual artist magazines, cinematic books and the like. I'd love to share something that I do, once I am able to conduct a proper shoot :)

Whow, Germany, that's kinda close from Finland where I live, and I am sure that you find a lot of locations and inspirations there. Albeit I do not know what would be your exact purpose for visit and what sort of shoot you will plan. :)

Would you announce at some point when you will be coming in Europe?
