Every once in a while I do a so called testshoot.
Those are mainly aimed at finding new models for our workshops, I strongly believe it’s important to keep getting new faces to keep myself and the students fresh 😀
This time it was Lisanne’s turn, she will be used for the glamour workshops but as you can see she can also perfectly fit the normal workshops. The testshoots are never spectacular result wise but a good way to introduce the new models.

In our series guestbloggers today it’s time for a very dear friend of ours, Brendan Stewert.
A time ago Brendan approached me if I would be interested in doing a workshop in the Boston area and we started a very nice mail conversation and I think we hit it off right away. He visited the Netherlands for a 1:1 workshop and a nice diner (:D) and during that time we decided it was probably wise to move the workshops to New York which became a huge succes.
We never lost contact after the workshops and we are now planning some workshops in the Boston area in 2011 in his brand new (awesome) studio complex.
For me Brendan has an unique look to what he does and is without a doubt a photographer worth following, and now before I’m taking to much blog space myself, here he is Ladies and Gentleman… (always wanted to say that) Brendan Stewart :
A while ago I posted if there would be some interest for a Twitter meeting in our studio in Emmeloord. As it seems there was indeed interest so I decided to plan a date on a short notice to test out what would happen and if in the future we could do something like this but bigger.
On the 16th of January (yesterday) it was that date.
We decided to start at app. 12:00AM to give everyone a change to drive here on the Sunday, there was no set end time.
Because I did not give that much attention to the meeting I did not expect much people joining but to my surprise there were app 20 people who signed up for the meeting, and for a first time I thought that was more than enough so we stopped mentioning the twitter meeting online.
The group was complete at 12:30 and we started with some coffee and an introduction (somehow those introductions always remind me of the AA meetings you see in the movies, “Hi, my real name is …….. and I use twitter under the name off”….. 😀
After the getting to know each other session we voted for a few locations to visit and as expected (or at least by me) Urk won.
Urk is a fisher town very close to Emmeloord and without a doubt for photographers (or just tourists) a great place to visit, to be honest I always test new gear there simply because there is so much to see and I love being there.
On Friday and Saturday I taught two 1: 1 workshops with themes in fashion and swimclothing.
For Friday our model was Nadine and on Saturday it was time for Sheena and Cherelle to join us in the studio.
