thumbFrank Dpunkt is famous photographer with a great photography portfolio, and he also is a skilled photomanipulator as well. In this collection, we’ll show off his amazing skills in listed photographs, which present some great ideas about photography, along with some learning tips.

Frank Dpunkt says on his Flickr profile “Why do I photograph? Because I want to see, how things look, if they were photographed and ” The sense of a camera is not to produce smooth and unverrauschte pixel quantities with best sharpness in the edges but pictures! And those define themselves first from contents and the formative idea. It is not to be despised however, if technical execution contents becomes fair. Therefore it is important to know and control the rules relating to crafts. Only who controls the rules, can also break them.”

Hope you like these listed portfolio and leave your comments for more inspiration.
