New Jersey / New York workshops April 13-14

It’s almost time for the workshops in New Jersey / New York on April 13-14.
These workshops are going to be a little bit more special because we’re not only shooting in two breath taking locations but also because the topic this time will be glamour/boudoir with a fashion twist, a combination I hardly ever teach abroad because I need a special kind of models for this, we do it this time however because we are working together with Maria from http://www.mariasangels.com/ and let’s be honest….. wow. If there is one workshop this year you really don’t want to miss it’s this one 🙂

Lenaa 21 December 2012 -_-747-EditDay 1 we will be shooting in a classic car dealership some of the topics will be :
Metering and manipulating light, finding the right pose, styling a shot, adding some magic ingredients like smoke and color, working with high contrast lighting, white or black canvas techniques (new topic), working with mix lights, calibrating your workflow, Photoshop/Lightroom tips, choosing the right gear, caching the model, finding the right models and much much more.

 

Day 2 we will be shooting in a more boudoir setting, a beautiful house some of the topics will be :
Using mix lights, shooting that glamour shot without going over the top, expression of the model, finding the right combinations in color and clothing, working in tight spaces, maximizing the location by choosing the correct angles, working with a calibrated workflow, Photoshop/Lightroom tips and much much more.

 

For Day 2 we are now fully booked.
For Day 1 we only have 2 seats available so if you want to join us please register at https://frankdoorhof.com/web/new-york-workshops/

Just one shot

Today just one shot.
I shot this one during a testshoot with a new model : Gea.
Now I’m not really big on Black and White images, well let me rephrase that, I LOVE Black and White shots but somehow I always end up with color….but when I did the conversion on this shot with NIK/Google SilverFX I honestly could not go back to the color version, so for today just one shot… but it’s a black and white one.
