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.

Route 66 Part II Roy’s

/in /by

A trip along Route66 is not complete without visiting Roy’s.
In the middle of (for us europeans) nowhere you find this gasstation and some old buildings and what resembles some cabins you can rent.
Al in the good old fashioned style, and a HUGE route 66 logo just in front of the building. Just walking around there in the blistering heat is an experience that borders on pure magic…. well for me at least, I believe Annewiek preferred the airconditioning in the car, these are the kind of places I really love to see and visit, but hey…. I love that stuff 😀

 

When you are in that area keep your eyes open for the “graveyard” of shoes and some other goodies, we shot those the last time we visited so this time we skipped those but it’s pretty cool if you’re there for the first time.

Route 66 Part I

/in /by

Route 66 who doesn’t know Route 66.
My dream route…
My absolute joy if we drive on it….
Well ok you get the idea I love Route 66.

Although that is not completely true I just love the more and “weird” is the wrong term, I mean the more “off beat” thinks, well you know what I mean right?
When we are in the states I always love to find some of those areas, we visited for example Rachel a while ago (the Alien town) and this was actually the second time we drove a part of Route 66 which leads from LA to Las Vegas. What I like about it not only the feeling you’re driving on history, but also the amazing stuff you see along the way, from totally abandoned places to towns where only a few people live and even some areas that are thriving on tourists.
Today part one of my album of shots we took during our very small drive over Route66.
My dream?
To drive from Chicago to LA in an RV and shoot whatever we find during that road trip and film along the way and write a book about the experience… maybe one day.

Some results with Rosa from the digital classroom

/in /by

Today some results from the digital classroom broadcast last month with Rosa.
The digital classroom is not a workshop and it’s not a video, it’s something in between and in my opinion an awesome mix of interaction and learning online, please visit the menu with the title “Digital classroom” for the next version which is actually THIS week on the 23nd with Nadine.
If you want to visit a real workshop visit www.photography-workshops.eu for the Dutch workshops or look in the menu “workshops” on this site for the tours (English).

Nadine during creative light workshop

/in /by

One of the new workshops I’ve added to the line up is the “Mastering the modelshoot : Creative light use and projection”.

 

In this workshop we work with alternative light sources and a projector to project not only images but literally paint in the scene the way we like it (we are working on an instructional video for this for the near future).

 

Today some of the images from that workshop with our model/stylist Nadine.
We started pretty simple with just some projection as structure.

Later me moved into a real image as projection, and of course making it BW for a more “impact” look.Nadine 41 - August 28, 2015

Adding some expression and as you can see in this example BW sometimes really just adds a LOT.Nadine 44 - August 28, 2015

After this “playtime” it was time for the serious part of the workshop.
We light painted the scene and added some smoke and colors to really show what can be done with alternative light.Nadine 109 - August 28, 2015
