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.

MamiyaLeaf Webinar link

While in New York I recorded an hour long webinar for MamiyaLeaf with Joe Brady.
We covered many topics like colorcheckers, lightmeters, adding motion to fashion, working with one light in small places, high contrast images and much more. For you guys that missed the webinar we now have it online.

X-rite webinar Q&A

Today I will answer the questions I got by mail that were asked during the X-rite webinar from last week.
You can see the webinar here….

CO

Q: Can you also use this in Capture One? (colorcheker)
A: No at this time there is no way to use the way I showed it, however… you can use the gray balance and according to some using the auto function will give you a better color response but to be honest I don’t see that myself, I really hope that in the future it’s somehow possible to easily make ICC profiles or that C1 will support the DCP profiling.

2 interesting workshops

Today some attention for 2 interesting workshops for the Dutch people.
And maybe also for you guys abroad because I’m working on also getting Nadine with me for some workshops abroad….

 

Nadine 7 December 2012 -_-820-Edit

1. Styling with a budget
This workshop is new and will be taught for the first time tomorrow.
The biggest problem we all face is inspiration…
what to do with a model?
what does she/he wear?
how do we pose the model?
how do we make a shot stand out?

 

In corporation with Nadine and our new stunning model Manon it will be a workshop in which we do several photoshoots from A-Z, meaning the styling, how to create a moodboard for your team, how to do the styling creativly on a budget, which light and set to go with the setup, shooting it, coaching the model and doing the retouching.
This is an insanely interesting workshop that will trigger your creative process like nothing  before. Nadine will go through three styling sets from zero to 50 euros and explain everything about those sets.

 

This workshop can be attended in the Netherlands only for the moment, but if there is enough interest we will take it on the road.
Tomorrow is the first time it’s taught but check www.fotografie-workshops.nl for other dates, you really can’t miss this one.

 

2. Fuji seminar Kamera Express (FREE)

What a difference a….. makes

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.
