Some skies

On the boat back to the Netherlands I shot these images.
Now let’s be honest with skies like these who could resist right? 😀

Workshop results from Edingburgh

Today the results from the Edinburgh workshop.
Now some locations are COOL, some locations are WOW, and some locations are…. well…. ok.
The trick is to make something out of every location, many many times as a photographer we are faced with this challenge, and I know a lot of photographers that will go like “yeah, so sorry the images are not great, but look at the location it’s horrible”. In my book there are no bad locations, only challenges and believe it or not I had more problems in Legoland than in Edinburgh to get something that worked. In Legoland all the locations were very strong with their own “character” and getting something out of that seems easy but to strike the balance between model and scene can be tricky.

 

In Edinburgh I approached the scenes with attention to repeating patterns, mixing ambient with strobes and of course a stunning background with the city. So the next time you are faced with a location where you think “Oh my what to do” try to find those patterns, like for example the white and black chairs which you will see in this series, or the combination of a white dress with red chairs and some strong cutting of the ambient light. And when you have the option to do a roof shot, well…… those always rock.
