Binnen CEWE zijn er veel collega’s die graag fotograferen. En dat is niet zo gek, want we zien immers dagelijks van heel dichtbij wat er allemaal mogelijk is met eigen foto’s. Voor ons is dat misschien wel de grootste inspiratiebron om zelf ook veel foto’s te maken. Toch zijn we ook dol op de uitspraken van beroemde fotografen. Onze 15 favorieten hebben we hier voor je op een rijtje gezet. Voor wie wel wat extra inspiratie of motivatie kan gebruiken om vaker die camera tevoorschijn te halen.”
