The Arcanum

Last year I met with Trey Ratcliff at Google head offices in the states.
At that point he told me about a project he was working on that would be different from the educational programs that were on the market at that moment, because I love to work with people I was more than interested. And a few months ago the Arcanum went into beta.

 

I’ve been working with them from the start and it’s nice to see something grow the way the Arcanum has grown. It’s still very early of course but I think it’s a completely new way of learning and inspiring people. Due to a very busy schedule I skipped the first group of masters but I’ve become active yesterday as a master on the Arcanum, and I’m more than looking forward to be working with them.

I’ve been running my own program “A year with Frank” for some time now (https://frankdoorhof.com/web/education/a-year-with-frank-doorhof/) and I think the way the Arcanum is setup it’s a very good addition to what we already offer in education. So I’m psyched to be on board.

One light, outside

Today just one simple portrait which I really like.
Shot during a workshop last week with Manon, the light source is a Quadra from Elinchrom with nothing on it, just the dish.

Just some portraits

Some images shot during test sessions last week.
These sessions we do with models that we think can be interesting for our work, in a test session we actually run through some standard lighting setups just to see how the models behave in front of the camera and how creative they are, most of the time 1 out of 10 models we do these sessions with stay with us in the workshops or other assignments.
