A quick test shoot
For the workshops we are always looking for new models, and sometimes you find someone via the net/social media, in a restaurant or in your own studio 😀
Janice as modelling for friends of us and I could not resist to also shoot some images. And guess what... she lives close by so she will probably pop up more regularly during the workshops in 2025.
Focus your light
Shadows can be tricky when you start out but in the end it's the glue that sticks everything together and makes an image look more realistic and also creates depth. Of course we need light to create shadows, and the smaller the light source the faster the edge transfer (difference between shadow and light). In other words smaller light means sharper shadow edges.
How to very easily find out your flash duration
One of the things I always love to do during photoshoots is adding some motion to the shots.
Now if you ever tried this you will probably know it's all about timing, but even than you probably noticed that sometimes the images are razor sharp and sometimes maybe a bit blurred, how is this possible when you use the same strobes?
Are you really that “shallow” ?
This also means that when I see someone responding on an add using my images or videos I try to help out and reply, but sometimes it's getting really weird, and because I hate to repeat myself 1000x I thought it would be fun and frustrating (if you are one of those) blog post about some of the weirdest conversations I had about Topaz PhotoAI.

Using the foreground to add dimension to your images
During the workshop "on location in Emmeloord" the challenge is to find locations that look not so interesting but still create some cool images.
If you ever visited our studio you know there always was an old building just in front of our studio, it didn't look nice but it had some great walls to shoot against 😀 one of them actually made it into my signature ClickBackDrop backgrounds.
Working on location with strobes and making something boring interesting
During the workshop "on location in Emmeloord" we scout for locations that look not so interesting but the challenge is to create some cool images anyway. This is a great training exercise because let's be honest in most cases working on location is not as superb as often hoped for, but we are still expected to deliver awesome images.
Working with strobes on location and how to kill the ambient light part II
One of the techniques I love to use on location is Day2Night.
With Day2Night we mimic a night or evening scene during day time.
As you can imagine you need some powerful lights to achieve this, or some cool tricks.
