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.
Ok shot, but not interesting enough, right ?
Now you hear a lot of talk about what makes a good image.
So many times you see the light that’s awesome, a great model and a great location, but there is something missing… in most cases that’s expression. However you can also enhance an image even more by knowing which lens to choose.
Going for a more extreme look can be awesome, and add a wider lens will really give you something cool.
Today I can share the new episode of “The DOORhof is always open” EP6.
This time it’s again loaded with tips via interviews with the MAC group guys and Glyn Dewis, plus it includes a quick tip about the Elinchrom Square reflector. With more than 50 minutes it’s enough to keep you going to episode I think 😀
December is the month of the holidays, over here we have Sinterklaas and christmas, in the US of course thanksgiving (around December) and christmas and maybe in other countries there are also other holidays, but for most people it’s the month that we all look forward to…. however what we often don’t realize is that there are a lot of people who don’t really look forward to that month, maybe due to the loss of a loved one or simply because they don’t have anything to look forward to….
That’s why a few years ago Jeremy Cowart decided it was time to give these people something worthwhile and because (just like us) he is a photographer that had to be a portrait, the movement was called Help Portrait. At this moment Help Portrait is a worldwide movement with many countries participating and many many photographers and volunteers working together to give people that really need it a portrait (we call it the portrait of hope).
Every year we have people coming in with their pets, and the dog training ladies which I love to photograph with their dogs. Also this young lady with her dog was a delight to shoot, only getting a rather large dog on a table was…. well a bit more trouble than we expected 😀
Every year it’s time to make the wishlist, and of course I also do this every year on the blog, so today my tips for the photographers out there (or their partners) these are the gifts I would like to get, if I didn’t already got them 😀
