It’s not always in the eyes

January 5, 2018/in Visions and technique, blog/by Frank Doorhof

We all know the expression “it’s all in the eyes”. And in most cases I 100% agree. I love to see catchlights and the eyes.

But always remember that there will be exceptions. Like you can see in the shot in this post you can’t really see the eyes. And in this shot that makes sense. That’s actually why a hood is designed. Now if you would open up the shadows the shot would actually loose power.

So always remember. Eyes are the mirror to the soul. But shadows are the soul of the shot. And sometimes that means the shadows win from the eyes.

Learn from examples

One of the best ways to learn lighting is actually trying to figure out how something was shot.

When I started with modelphotography I actually used a mannequin to practice my skills 🙂

To read the light you always have to remember that the whole setup is always right in front of you. It’s literally in the shot as you see it.

The best advice I can give you is actually to read the shadows. If you read the shadows and draw lines you can actually see actually where the lights were positioned and under which angle.

Now it won’t be perfect but you’ll learn very quickly how the setup can be copied 🙂

Review Lacie 2 big dock QF Ep 108

January 3, 2018/in blog, Webinars and instructional videos/by Frank Doorhof

In this episode of Quite frankly we talk about the Lacie 2 big dock.

Backups are vital in a healthy workflow, and the Lacie 2 big dock bridges the DAS and carry around harddrive perfectly. It’s a rock solid drivesystem that is still handy to carry around and use on location but is also very safe due to the Raid 0 or 1 configuration, plus it boosts a lot of connectivity.

If you liked this video give it a big thumbs up and subscribe so we can keep on making them.
