One of the things I love about the workshops..

is when one of the attendees brings something to use during the sessions. This could be a prop or material that we can incorporate into the session. And this time it’s about creative reflections

Someone brought black reflective material. When we started setting everything up, we quickly realized that the material wasn’t wide enough. So, we decided to change the material to black cloth. The material itself was not reflective enough, but luckily, we always have some plexiglass in stock.
And to make something reflective, you can often just place a piece of plexiglass on top, which also works great for backgrounds and floors.

I didn’t want a completely black background, but I also wanted to have some very faint details in the background. So we opted to let the light fall off slightly on the background.
(This also serves as a great way to incorporate some theory and tricks into the set. :D)

This was the second workshop for our model, Marit, and I think she did great with this rather limiting setup.
Her poses had to be exactly like we placed her, so not a lot of room for improvisation.

So let’s take a look at the results.

Workshops

Want to learn everything about light control and work with creative reflections?
In our workshops, it’s not just shooting a model with a fixed lighting setup, but you will see how the setup is built and adjusted to the taste of the group?
And of course learn how to work with poses, backgrounds, small sets, styling, retouching, and a lot more…..

If this all sounds awesome, visit fotografie-workshops.nl and book your workshop.
If you don’t speak Dutch, no problem, let us know a few weeks in advance, and we can switch the workshop to English.
Not possible to travel to the Netherlands?
We also teach 1:1 online workshop.
We have a full streaming setup in our studio. 4 detail cameras and of course the retouching software, so you can see every detail and of course ask questions during the day. Plus, you get all the RAW files after the workshop.
