Some new polaroids

/4 Comments/in /by

As promised I would post some new polaroids every week.
I’ve been shooting some instant film over the last few weeks and must say that it’s 100% addictive.
At the moment I’m using the Mamiya RZ67ProII with a Polaroid back for the Impossible Blue film and also recently bought a Polaroid SX70 online for the PX film from Impossible. I can really say that if you love photography it’s without any doubt a refreshing way of photography. We all loved Polaroid in the past but somehow with digital we lost the feel for it, we now have the digital polaroid on the back of the camera right?


However shooting the impossible film is so much fun that I can (again) advise everyone to just test it out, the costs to start using it are next to nothing, you can buy cameras online for less than 20 bucks and a good SX70 for around 100-150 and the film is sold by the Impossible project worldwide so no worries about that. The thing I love about it, is that every shot is different, the outcome is always a little bit of  a guess, it’s like a great person once said “you never know what you’re gonna get” 😀

So without wasting more time/space, some more polaroids from last week from Chantal, Esther and Gwendolyne.

How easy it can be….

One of the most asked questions must be the one of “How do you get creative”.
Well to be honest I don’t really know, I’ve been shooting people for quite some time now and somehow I just will wait for the location and somehow it hits me on the location what to do, so in new locations I’m actually never that worried…. this drives some people mad because when they ask me what I want to do I always answer “We will see when I’m there”, I do need some things of course like certain strobes but even with those I’m rather flexible. Maybe it’s because one of mottos is “Do it with what you have”.

So how about locations where you have shot many times before…
During my workshops I love certain setups, and although I’ve shot them many, many, many times I still want them to look fresh and interesting for the people that follow my work online, it would be rather boring to see the same shots over and over again.

WOW 1 million

Today not a real blogpost but more of something I’m proud off.
When I started this blog I never expected it to grow into something that I would update every day, it was just meant to keep people updated for let’s say once a week, share some new work etc. However when I checked the stats yesterday I saw that we needed only 400 more visitors to hit the magic mark of 1.000.000 visitors, wow.

I put a lot of work in the blog and try to share new work, videos, news, reviews and also at least once a week a blogpost dedicated to technique, and it’s great to see that you guys seem to love the blog so much. Let’s try to hit the next 1.000.000 soon 😀

I guess you will be seeing more Esther in the future.  Read more
