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.

Experimenting a bit with a more vintage look in some of the images, hope you like them.
Servix demo day 1 video
This weekend we were in Belgium for a 2 day demo/workshop series for the Belgium company Servix.
Main attention for me during the demos and workshops were the Elinchrom, Lastolite (backgrounds), Sekonic and of course Phase One products.
Today a small BTS video from day 1.

And one of the results from day 1
Arms
Including arms in a shot can be a problem, so some people just give the advise to not include them… well that’s too easy.
Let’s look at some tips that I often share during the workshops.
Images are shot with a Beautydish with grid and the Lensbaby 80mm tilt lens.
In my opinion you always should try to include both arms.
In this shot I only included one, and although I like the shot… well there’s something missing.
Also her elbow is on the absolute limit of what I find acceptable, if she would have moved it a bit more towards the left (image left) you would not see the upper arm and that gives a “weird” effect for me. Now I also have to add that all these rules are great, but if you “hit” that perfect image and the arm is a bit…. or the face is a bit ….. well in the end it’s all about the emotion a picture gives you, I have several images in my portfolio that are far from perfect (the perfect image actually doesn’t exist I think) but just gave me the emotion I wanted. So just take these tips as guidelines, to know the rules is also to know when breaking them (or better accepting a technical “error” for emotional perfection)
