Movement with Kirsten

As you probably know I love shooting motion, and what is better for that than working with a dancer (or dancers).
Last week Kirsten visited our studio for some new shots, and today I can share some of that shoot.
All shots/jumps are real and no Photoshop was used except for tinting and sharpening.

I want to break free…..

Today a special blog post.
First of all it’s my birthday 😀 (44 already pffff) but second of all I wanted to post this one today for another reason.

People that know me know that I’m a huge Queen fan so when our friend Chaim and me talked about him looking a bit like Freddie we actually came up with the idea from the shoot you’re gonna see today.

 

When we came up with the idea to do a Queen inspired shoot we first had to determine on what to shoot.
Very quickly it was decided we would do a tribute to “I want to break free”.
Styling wise this was of course already a challenge, getting high-heels, clothing etc. but most of all it appeared to be a challenge to get the vacuum cleaner, but eventually we found it so we could plan the shoot. And last weekend it was time to shoot it so today we can show you the results.

May 22-23 Ultimate workshop weekend the Netherlands

One of the things I love the most is teaching workshops, inspiring people and working with cool themes is of course the best thing in the world (well at least for me).

 

Normally the workshops are full days in which I can cover quite some ground, but there is always more…
That’s where the Ultimate workshop weekends come in.
In 2 days (and an evening) I’ll walk you through every aspect of a successful photoshoot and share business and retouch/workflow tips. And during these weekends we really dive in deep into the technical part, retouching etc. This is the perfect workshop for both medium and high level photographers.

 

The groups of the ultimate workshop weekends are always small to give all participants a real 1:1 experience.
If you want to join us for the May 22-23th version make sure to surf to INFO AND REGISTRATION PAGE at the moment we have only 2 seats left, so if you want to join us make sure to register and we’ll see you in Emmeloord.

 

Some of the results from previous ultimate weekends, as you can see we cover all areas of model photography (Styling, different light sources, set building, location work, retouching, business, duo and single shoots, working with smoke, using natural light, posing/coaching the models and much much much more :D)
