Introducing Jill

We are always looking for new models for the workshops etc.
From the 10 test sessions I do maybe 1-2 models really continue to pose during the workshops, this model just blew me away and I think we will be seeing a lot of her in the future. So without further a due meet Jill.

Adding movement again…

I’ve talked about it many times on the blog, adding motion.
And the reason it’s a returning topic is very simple, it can really make a shoot go from ok to WOW.
In this case I want to share an image I shot during one of the shoots we did with the finalists from our competition “Poldermodel 2014” Debby.
As you can see we did experiment a bit with movement with Debby and she got it 😀

A wedding StudioFD style

Now a lot of people ask me if I also do weddings…. my answer is always “Sometimes”
I really want to have a connection with the couple because I love to also shoot the moments that you can’t shoot when you don’t blend in as a “friend”/”family”.

 

Today I share some images from a recent wedding Annewiek, Sandra I did for the beautiful couple Janita and Christian. Of course with permission of the couple.
We always deliver our weddings in 3 different looks which are determined with talks with the couple, most of the times it’s one color version (in this case a slight vintage look you see here), a black and white version and the natural “out of camera” shots. This way the family/friends etc. can choose the look they want for the whole series. It’s a bit more work but in the end we do offer the packages as a high-end product.

Tonality from MacPhun video

One of the things I always love it playing with new software, being it plugins or apps, it’s always nice to see if a piece of software can give you a boost in workflow or simply give you a new/better/faster way to make your images stand out.

Now there are some great BW converters out there, I love Alien Skin Exposure, SilverFx and DxO filmpack so when the guys from MacPhun asked me to testrun their newest app called Tonality (in base a BW convertor) I was very curious what they could add to the market with their app, but after some weeks of test-driving Tonality I can tell you that it ROCKS, the interface is very easy to understand but most of all the options you have to really custom make the look you want for your image is awesome. I’m 100% sure you’re gonna love it.


As with all MacPhun software it’s for Mac only, it will work as a plugin in for Lr, Photoshop but also as a standalone.


You can order it here :

Congratulations to our buddies at MacPhun for releasing another awesome app.

 

And here is my video on Tonality Pro.
As you can see I don’t use the layers option, this is something I do use in Photoshop, but if you want it in the software it’s there.
