Who We Are
About Joel Tjintjelaar
Joel Tjintjelaar is a fine art photographer, specialized in black and white, long exposure, architectural, landscape and still life photography.
Joel believes that fine art photography and art, in general, are about creating experiences to change perceptions and create awareness, sometimes on an aesthetic level, but preferably on a more profound level that changes how we see the world and contributes to a meaningful cause.
Joel has developed a digital B&W post-processing method that has been adopted by many B&W enthusiasts all over the world since 2011.
Joel teaches workshops and mentors students from all over the world on the art of B&W photography and is producing advanced B&W editing software panels for Photoshop since 2016.
To achieve Joel's particular style, a very detailed and perfectionist image editing is necessary. While Joel's Photoshop panels help to save a lot of time, the required masks for different parts of the architectural images might be tiresome - that is the reason why Joel and ProImageEditors teamed up and created a unique editing service!
