It’s always hard to think of ways to say when you think you found a soulmate so I thought let’s do it with something from a very well known Dutch standup comedian (Toon Hermans), and I’ll do it in Dutch first.

 

 

vriend
je hebt iemand nodig
stil en oprecht
die als het erop aan komt
voor je bidt of voor je vecht
pas als je iemand hebt
die met je lacht en met je grient
dan pas kun je zeggen:
‘k heb een vriend

als je iemand hebt
die alles met je deelt
de tafel en het bed
één die nooit verveelt
als je iemand hebt
die al je zorgen heelt
weet je wat dat zeggen wil
weet je wat dat scheelt?


pas als je iemand hebt
die met je lacht en met je grient
dan pas mag je zeggen:
ik heb ‘n vriend

And the English translation :

Lenaa in a white dress

Last weekend I taught a workshop for an enthusiastic group of 22 from the “fotovakschool”, or in English the photography school.
All students were finished with their education and wanted to see what I did during a photoshoot, this was the perfect opportunity for a little bit adapted version of the workshop “fashion shoot A-Z”, our model for the day was Lenaa.

 

Today some of the images from that workshop.

Beltcraft studios workshop the fast set 4

/in /by

Today the final set from the Beltcraft studios workshops.
You’ve now seen 3 sets already and today the fourth.
Normally during the workshops I always try to show 3-4 completely different sets, these sets are always different, depending on the l0cation we are in, the mood I’m in (or the model/group), the light we use etc. etc. in this case we had to be out of the studio within 20 minutes after the last set (3) and because there were no further questions (we already talked a lot) I decided to see how far I could push myself (and Nadine) and took the challenge to create a complete set in 20 minutes…. and yeah the 20 minutes was including hair and makeup……. oempf.

 

But Nadine is fast and 5 minutes before the end time I could shoot.
In this case we already set everything up before Nadine walked up the set so in theory everything should be fine…. and luckily it was (thanks to the meter of course :D).
By moving around Nadine I created 3 different looks (also one with a more zoomed out view) and these images.

For the next set we used a corner of the studio that was available with an unique prop, well I never worked with something like this before.
Nadine had the perfect outfit for this….. a cross between fashion and a gymnastic Ninja 😀
