Speedlight magic : an in-depth tutorial about speedlights and round flashes
Without any doubt the speedlight is one of the most creative tools in the photographers arsenal. Some call it strobist, some call it speedlights, or small flash… in essence this is the video for you and just for these strobes of course.
We talk about the techniques like HSS, Exposure compensation, First/Second curtain sync, Zoom, ETTL, manual etc. but we also cover my favourite accessories, information about remote controls and how to mount the strobes to a stand and of course there are several chapters with awesome lighting setups.
Everything is filmed and edited in 4K and shot from different angles so you can see the explained techniques very clearly. During the studio sessions you see all the images coming in while they are shot, and you get to see the finished results.
Speedlight magic is a video for everyone that is interested in working with the most creative strobe system that fits in almost every bag.

The video that was asked for many times, but I simply did not have the time to make it, because when I do something I want it to be a complete video and some “teaser” so during the “lockdown” I decided to start recording all the tips and tricks I knew for Photoshop and Lightroom resulting in a monster package of almost 100 videos ranging from the basic adjustments and tools all the way up to a skin retouching, manipulating colours, working with several displays, my favourite plugins and gear and….. well it’s a lot let me put it this way.

Mastering the model shoot: Any light will do
I’ve taught countless workshops and released several instructional videos but this might be the most important one.
The first thing people always ask me is “what gear did you use”?
Of course most of the time we shoot with strobes, sunlight, reflectors etc. But in essence, you can say that “Any light will do” I strongly believe that as long as there is light you can create images.
In short, you don’t need expensive gear to create stunning images or tell your story. That’s why in this video I show you a lot of tips and tricks how you can shoot with light sources that you normally probably never would have thought off.
What about :
Smartphone lighting, a led flashlight, Christmas lights, a tungsten lightbulb and even a chandelier.
But I also show you how to be creative with existing light sources like a ring light, Lume cubes, a DIY Fresnel with speed lights and even an icelight.
This video is filled to the brink with cool ideas that will trigger your creativity, but most of all proves once and for all that “any light will do”

A guide to Capture One Pro 9-10
Often people forget the importance of the RAW developer and how much of a difference it can make on your final images, let alone what you can do in the RAW convertor as retouching. As soon as you open up Photoshop you are not working in the RAW convertor anymore so it’s vital to do as much as possible before that. For years Capture One has been on the top of the list of best RAW convertors and not without a reason (of course), Capture One has many retouching and developing options that for some people will even make it possible to do the complete workflow within Capture One.
But that’s not all, in-studio or location setups many photographers love to shoot tethered, and this is were Capture One in my opinion really shines as being rock solid and incredibly versatile. When you first open up Capture One everything can look a bit…. frightening, especially when you are used to the industry standard Lightroom, but in all honestly the layout and options are actually very easy to learn if you get a little bit of help, and that’s where this video comes in. In over 3 hours I walk you through the way that I use Capture One, you will find chapters on the tools, tethered shooting, retouching samples and workflow. All videos are kept as short as possible and are very easy to understand.
Topics include :
BW modes, integration with Lightroom/Photoshop and plugins, exporting recipes, styles/looks, synchronising, using local adjustments and layers, advanced colour adjustments, advanced and simple skin retouching, masking possibilities, folder structures, overlays, watermarks, customising the look and layout, HDR from one image, making images pop, using processing in batch, all the tools you need to know explained, auto masking tips, skin tone smoothing, tricks with the skin tone smoothing for skies, removing spots and dust, using healing for removing hair and blemishes, using capture pilot in a tethered workflow, RAW developing explained, lens correction, adding grain for a great look and evening out retouches, noise reduction, stacking effects in layers and styles, sorting and rating in the browser, creating your personal layout and much much more….
If you want to get the best out of Capture One in your workflow and set up a great integration with Lightroom this is without a doubt the best way to start. All the videos are 100% usable in both capture one 9 and the new version 10. Videos are in random order but in folders per subject. Some videos are labelled with numbers, those should be watched in that order.
Run time well over 190 minutes, screen captures are high resolution and video is 4K
