My blog, although I don’t see myself as a blogger but as a Photographer I will try to blog some interesting material during the weeks.
Expect at least 2 updates a week.

Orchideeën Hoeve in winterstyle

The Orchideeën Hoeve is a place very close to our studio/home where we often walk around with Chewie and of course always advise our foreign visitors to visit. It’s a wonderful and magical place all year through but in December it’s always very special.

Today in the blog no modelphotography but some images I took with my iPhone last night during a quick visit.
Hope you enjoy the impression.

Adding some color to totally change the look and feel

Adding a strobe with a gel can totally change the mood and feel of a shot. You can always turn it off to get totally different looks from the same set so the customer can choose 😉

Model : Nadine

First some without extra gel

Now let’s add a blue gel from the side. And play a bit with the angle under which the blue is aimed.

As you see, adding some color doesn’t only just give you more options for that shoot. But you can also use your backdrops in much more settings 😉

Adding some color is one of my favorite things to do

Using props

I love using props in sessions.
In this case a “fake” famous microphone and as you can see it adds a lot to the session. Not only because it looks nice. But also because the model can now do a lot more with Expression and poses.

But you don’t have to use a microphone of course.

How about a cool guitar for example

Or you can also use your strobes. In this case one of our geekoto strobes shot during a tradeshow

But of course you want to spice things up a bit.

Or use a spare camera

Almost anything you like you can use as a prop. So next time a model doesn’t know how to pose or hold her/his hands. Think about adding a prop 😉
