Karel de GendreThe work in Karel de Gendre's commercial photography portfolio includes everything from table-top product shots to commercial portraits. Karel's ability to do all of these images well, is one of the main reasons we have included him at Profotos.

A unique aspect, which is discernable in several of Karel's images, is the way he uses light to accentuate the detail and form of the products and people he photographs. Within many of these images, there is a single "spot" of light, which contributes all of the form and texture to the subject. This "spot" is often used in commercial photography by other photographers, however, Karel implements this lighting style in unique fashion, which lends itself to creating beautiful images.

Along with this unique style of lighting, Karel also produces exquisite images of products, which can be ranked among the best world-wide.
