Real moody shots are not easy

In todays blogpost it's all about creating a special mood in your photos and how to light up the shadows in a hight contrast setup.

And working with motion is without a doubt one of those things. But although freezing motion can be awesome, think about jumps or just a flick of the hair, incorporating motion into the shot is even more fun. In today's video it's just about that. How to get awesome one time effects with adding motion to strobes and of course how to get special effects by moving the camera.

You will never get this

Sometimes it's not black and white People often claim that "this is the way" and "the only way". For photography I always thing "there are more ways to do it". And that goes without a doubt for smoke.

Don’t do this but in this case do exactly that

Backlighting the right way When I started with model photography I remember that the first time I used a backlit model I was over the moon with the results. "Wow it looks like an aura".... and indeed it did. And maybe it was in my advantage that we didn't have 65MP cameras at that moment, because there are some things that you can better not do.

Smoke in the studio is always fun So today part I in a series on smoke. I've been using smoke almost immediately when I started with model photography in my own "studio". Somehow smoke is magic during a photo-shoot. I often joke that if the model is "so-so" or the set is awful, just pump in some smoke and you have a killer shot. Of course it's not that easy, although in essence it does work that way, smoke is a real mood maker.
