Today as promised the winners of our competition “Poldermodel 2012”.
Remember these shots were done very quickly during the photoshoot, soon we will have much better shots taken in our studio of course.
3rd Place : Ben During the Photoshoots Ben was a good performer, not the best all-round but he has an interesting face and attitude. On the catwalk however Ben rocked the crowd, as the only male model left he clearly showed that he was not afraid to go extreme… and as you know extreme that’s something I love.
Last week we organized the model competition “Poldermodel 2012”
For this competition we asked “local models” to send in their motivation why they would have to become the “polder model 2012”, we expected some responses but to be honest the amount was overwhelming.
In the end we selected 25 models and invited them to the final day at Restaurant Boszicht in Emmeloord, our home base for the competition. The models were divided into two groups. One group would get a “relax seminar” by Sijmen de Jong (a theater teacher) and a catwalk training by Nadine Stephan from Ventasy styling. The other group were left with me for a small photoshoot and some tips/tricks to pose. I did this together with Marie Korf (a long time model for me).
After the seminars and photoshoot we had the difficult task to select the 8 finalists.
These girls (and boy) were in the good hands of Linda Rutgers from Beautyfx for their makeup and Nadine did their styling for the catwalk show.
Tomorrow I will show you the winners…. but today a small compilation video of the photoshoot.

Before you start reading I have to make a few things clear.
I got my Credo last Friday night, so I’ve shot 1 session with it and a few loose shots (but put it thought it’s paces), I hate to do reviews like this to be honest if they are too technical, that’s why you will hardly find any 100% crops of resolution charts with my reviews, I just tell you how I think about the product. And of course you can ask whatever you want 🙂
In the market of digital photography it’s always interesting to see what manufactures come up with to draw the people to the stores and buy their newest gear. In the Medium format market it’s a bit more “relaxed” than in the DSLR market. Most medium format cameras are used in controlled areas like studios or with strobes on location so for example the whole high ISO race is of less importance (I do have to add that I don’t agree with this, I would love a digital back that can shoot noiseless ISO1600).
Somehow when we compare the medium format cameras and backs to modern DSLRs one could easily say that medium format is not interesting anymore, and with the release of the Nikon D800(E) a lot of people even claimed that medium format was “dead”, I was even interviewed by a magazine about the release of the D800 and the interviewer was surprised that my answer was that, although I love the way the development goes for DLRs, I really did not think you can compare a medium format camera with a DSLR, it’s all about the term “horses for course”. Now I hear you ask “Really, come on Frank”. So let me explain.
Let’s just only look at the sensor size, a medium format sensor like the Credo60 measures 53.9 x 40.4 mm while for example the Nikon D800(E) “only” is 24 x 35.9 mm which is a huge difference. Now what does that mean ? (and yes after that I do the review of the Credo 60).
