Who is the practitioner (what is their name and their Instagram handlebar ?) and when were they practicing?

The famous photographer’s name is Eelco Roos, from the Netherlands. He can be found on Instagram with his handlebar name being @croyable. Eelco Roos was as an IT specialist at IBM Amsterdam for over 10 years, however his biggest passion was always photography. After setting up an Instagram account in June 2011 and receiving a lot of attention from the photos he posted, after only a short period of time his followers grew past 100,000. This pushed him to quit his IBM job to purse a career in photography. He began travelling around the world to capture beautiful images of places he visited along his journey and provide his followers with breath taking images.

 With the photo you are examining when was it produced ?

This photograph was captured in Moraine Lake in Canada during the year of 2012.

How was the photo authored and published?

This image was taken on his iPhone and uploaded straight to his Instagram account. He uses several applications to assist him during the editing process of his images, these; include; Snapseed, Filterstorm, Blender and VSCO CAM. Eelco claims during the early stages of his photographer career he didn’t take it as serious, a photo was just taken and pretty much posted almost immediately, every now and then he may have have tested a filter or two. However, due to all the evolving technological advancements and new applications arising, it’s given him the opportunity to create his own filters using various apps, but he likes a clean, natural and realistic photo, without overdoing the editing process and spoiling the authenticity of the Image. This famous image as well as all his other images captured have all been taken from his Iphone. Yet he is able to capture brilliant photos with such a simple tool, nothing entirely professional such as a HD camera.

How was the photo distributed?

At the beginning of 2012 for his unique work he won an iPhone Photography Award in the Children’s and seasons field, due to educating younger students of the quality of images taken on an iPhone and providing them with inspiration. The Image along with his other published images were distributed on his Instagram account for his 429,000+ followers to view his content.
