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.

Marie in B&W

Today some images from the workshop I did last week at the showroom from Fotoflits (the Dutch Elinchrom agent).
Model : Marie.

Marie Februari 12 2013-23-Edit Now I have the weirdest thing with B&W, I LOVE B&W but somehow when I do the conversion I always think “Hummmm I like the color more” so I always end up with the color images, this time I forced myself to keep this series B&W and share them as a blog post online. I hope you like Marie in B&W 🙂

New workshop (DUTCH/ENGLISH)

As you probably already know when students ask me about certain workshops I will always try to figure something out and add the topics to an existing workshop or create a whole new one (like the “styling and creativity” workshop with Nadine).

 

For a while I’ve been playing with the idea to do a complete workflow workshop, and seeing that my new book is about to be released, which in fact will cover the complete A-Z for a model shoot, I thought it was a great time to start doing the “Model/Fashion shoot from A-Z” workshops.

Hair and eyes

During the workshops I get a lot of questions on the topic of hair and eyes.
Now let me make one thing clear, I strongly believe in rules…. but I also strongly believe in bending or breaking the rules when needed. And let’s be totally honest when we all follow the rules photography would be pretty boring. So although I will teach my students during the first workshops that it’s always important to see both eyes and have catchlights in the eyes, in the more advanced workshops I will always try to break those rules for some setups.

Marie Februari 12 2013-56-EditFor me the expression and composition, color etc. is al much more important in a shot that just being able to see the eyes. The following shots were all taken this week during a workshop I taught for Fotoflits (the Dutch Elinchrom agent). Normally Marie (the model) will bring some nice dresses and extreme clothing but by accident she left one of her bags in the train (it’s back now) and then it’s time to start improvising.
