Spotlight on Photographer Jacques Wood

About Jacques Wood
Jacques has been taking 35mm film and slide photos for over 30 years. After a long break, Jacques picked up the craft again when he discovered digital photography.
He is an Olympus shooter that enjoys travel photography and the art of floral photography. His specific equipment: EM1 II camera and Zuiko 12-100 mm( 24-200 mm FFE) F 4.0 PRO lens.
All the photos were taken while he was on vacation in the Czech Republic with this wife. I love the candid shots of the girl in a pink dress. Jacques came upon a professional photo shoot on the historic Charles Bridge in the City of Prague, and decided to take some of his own.
