Images shot during the Sony event

December 17, 2015/in blog/by Frank Doorhof

Every year Sony organizes an event for their customers/dealers, or people that are interested in Sony of course.
This year was the third time I was part of the event as an instructor and today I’m sharing some of the images I shot during the workshops on board the SS rotterdam. A beautiful location but…. the cabin we were put in was not that big, however that’s not a problem of course we just use what we find, but it would have been nice to shoot in one of the awesome other locations… well who knows. For this time we did it with what we found in our cabin.

Model/styling : Nadine
Assistants : Bart, Daisy and Annewiek

As you can see, curtains and a chair can create a lot of interesting ideas for shoots 😀

Quite Frankly on plugins

December 16, 2015/in blog/by Frank Doorhof

We all love photography right?
And one part of photography is editing, and well… this can be fun but sometimes it’s also a matter of repeating the same thing over and over. This is where plug-ins come in very handy.

Now there is literally a jungle on plug-ins available, so how do you select the right ones?
It will always be very personal, what works for you might not work for me, so in the end you have to make sure you choose what you use/need and not what someone tells you rocks.That being said, I love the plug-ins from MacPhun. I met them a few years ago during Photoshopworld and their intensify plugin/app blew me away, I’ve been using it ever since and found myself more and more switching to all their apps/plug-ins.

The plug-in we are gonna look at today is Intensify, and I believe it’s in 95% of my shots, sometimes very subtle, sometimes a bit more over the top. In my opinion by the way, mixing the effect is a vital importance, you don’t want your images to look like HDR (Highly Destructive Retouching).

In this episode of Quite Frankly (wow 57 already) I talk about plug-ins and demonstrate the Intensify plug-in by MacPhun.
We also made a special deal with them for you guys, surf to www.frankdoorhof.com/macphun for a great discount on their creative suite.

A duo workshop

December 15, 2015/in blog/by Frank Doorhof

Today some images I shot during a special “duo/wedding” workshop I taught in a beautiful location in Germany.

Models : Kevin and Nadine.
Styling : Nadine
During this workshop the idea was to combine the techniques I normally teach for fashion shoots with wedding photography, in other words get the wedding shots looking a bit different.
