Small flash with Sanne

/1 Comment/in /by

Today some images shot during the small workshop with our model Sanne.
All shots were one strobe with a combination of the Flashbenders (Rogue) and a simple shoot through reflector.
The idea of the workshop is to work with minimal gear to achieve maximum results.
For the Dutch people the book “De magie van de kleine flitser” can be ordered online at any major bookstore (or our store) and includes loads of tips for the use of small flash.

Shot on location

Today some images we shot during a 1:1 workshop on location.
Believe it or not but the shots were all done inside a normal house, so it was very tight to move around, but let’s be honest with these kind of sets…. who would complain 🙂

 

Model / Styling : Nadine
Strobes : Elinchrom ELC, 70cm Deep Octa, Reflector (+grid), varistar umbrella, bounce flash.

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact review Pt2

/in , /by

Today part 2 in my series of looking at the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact phone.
And this time it’s a small update and tip that will probably work for more phones.

As always with something new it’s a matter of liking somethings, getting used to some others and really loving some others, and I already found something cool that I’ll be using a lot.
As you know I love shooting tethered, it gives you a direct feedback, but it’s also very handy for the attendees during a workshop/demo to see what I’m doing. Tethering my sony a7r via play memories is handy and works on ipad and iPhone. Play memories is the software you can get for free from Sony that is creating a connection between your phone and supported cameras like the Nex and A7 series, it shows the live view and images coming in, but you can of course also remote control your camera.
Setting up is pretty easy and straight forward just connect to the camera via wifi in the setup of your mobile device, start playmemories and go, but it can always be easier.
