News update

Today a small news update, but some important ones I think 🙂

1. A new DVD
During the workshops in Boston we filmed the sessions including the Q&A (first time ever we filmed that), I’m now working on editing the files for a release on a new DVD. We’ve already got a nice selection of DVDs on the market and of course the instructional videos/DVDs with http://www.kelbytraining.com (make sure to check out the online videos there). And because I hate to do the same thing, we decided to take a different approach this time. The whole workshop was filmed with 2 cameras and we used a voice recorder to record my voice. This means that I will be using the live material and not be doing a voice over like with our previous DVDs, on the Kelby videos we also did a live voice by the way and that worked really well so I decided to adopt this for the new DVD.
For the Dutch people this will mean that the DVD will be released in English. We are looking into options for subtitles but I’m not sure if we will follow through with that. Of course you all want to know stuff about release dates, runtimes etc. and I honestly cannot say yet. At the moment I’m done editing the Q&A and the first small flash part and we’re already well over 60 minutes, so it will probably be a long DVD in runtime. Release dates are always tricky with our schedule, but I would not be surprised if it was on the market around christmas.

2. A new book
A long time ago I wrote a book (that started it all) called “Guide to model photography”, although I’ve taken this of the market a few years ago and always have been wanting to revamp that one it never happened, we started the DVD series instead. However the last few months more and more people have been asking me to do something with a book and after a long consideration I’ve decided to do it. The book will contain a lot of the most popular blogposts about technique, light meter use, posing, tips etc. and will not stop at just model photography… I will also include a chapter on things not model related as you can also sometimes read on my blog.

Also here you are of course curious about a release date… well I will take my time.
We are now collecting data from the blog, I will rewrite a lot of that and make sure it all flows nicely and I want to add a lot of new material of course. A release date is therefor not yet known, but don’t expect it to be before the summer of 2012.

3. TwitPhoto TV
Make sure to watch TwitPhoto TV on September 27th because I will be doing an interview with them that day.
You can ask questions etc. so make sure to tune in.
