Today some images from Chantal.
And there is something special with these shots.
At the moment I’m testing the ice light system from Westcott, Annewiek calls it “the lightsaber”.
The ice light is a very bright long light source that can be dimmed and to be honest it’s pretty interesting to play with. I’ll add a review later in the testing phase, but for today 2 images from Chantal I shot with it right after a webinar.
I love shooting film as you probably know by now.
On a recent trip I bought a Yashica TLR camera (124 mat) and have been using this a lot lately during travel, the advantage is that it’s a really “small” camera but shoots 6×6 film so you get an amazing quality, also the lens is incredibly sharp so the results are awesome so to say 🙂
All images are shot with natural light.
Now a lot of people ask me “why film, is it better than digital?”
Well let me put it this way, No it’s not better than digital, but it’s different.
And that’s the main reason I shoot film, the look is so different from digital that for me it’s another way to present my work, plus I just love the whole “magic” of developing/scanning your images and see what you got a few days after you shot it, it forces you think even more than you do with digital.
Today I show you some of the BW film I shot during the UK tour.
I did all the developing at home, after a night of drying the photos are scanned with a Reflecta MF5000 with Silverfast software. Especially the software with which you scan is incredibly important because in essence that’s your “raw developer” but it does much more, and I found Silverfast to be superior to other solutions.

During our trip through the Uk for the workshop tour we had one day off, and during a day off you of course want to do a “warm-up” shoot, so we found this nice ruin in the middle of the field and decided it was time to test out the new Phottix small flash system combined with flash benders, bare and of course also do some natural light shots. Because I was in the middle of creating “styles” for Capture One all images have a slightly different look, this was not meant as a series, although you see them next to each other. I also experimented with the different options of the Phottix strobes meaning also the lighting is different in all shots. So see this as a collection of different images and not as a series.
Hope you enjoy them 😀
