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.
Today a guestblog about a topic that “haunts” many shooters.
Your Vision is what makes you Unique
First, let me start off by saying thanks to Frank for asking me to do a guest blog on his site. Not only is his work amazing, but the other photographers who have written blogs here have been incredible as well. I feel honored to be in their company.
Last week I showed some streetstyle photography with the Sony Alpha 99.
Because I mostly shoot models it’s of course also a good idea to test a camera in that situation, so today some images from a recent modelshoot with Lenaa.
Actually these were shot during her testsession.
Some images might be considered not safe for work, although I think they are not, but it will vary per country.
Today some of my favorite shots from the WorldWidePhotoWalk in Amsterdam I did during the Modelshoot.
Models : Manon and Esther.
Natural light shots were all done with the Sony Alpha 99, strobe shots Canon 5DMKIII.
During the WordWidePhotowalk in Amsterdam the Dutch Tamron distributor Transcontinenta was so kind to lend us some lenses.
During the day part of the walk I tried out the Tamron 28-300VC, as you already know I’m not a reviewer that will show you 100% crops, shoot brick walls or bombard you with technical mambo mambo that there is a 1.3 pixel chromatic aberration in the extreme corners. What I try to do is give you my opinion for the usefulness of a lens and if it’s interesting for you to buy (or not).
Let me start out by stating that there are two thoughts among street shooters, some will burn me on the stake because I don’t promote the use of primelenses only, and yeah I know you can’t beat a great prime, trust me I LOVE the 50mm 1.4 and it’s awesome in quality and gives me goosebumps when I shoot with, but it also frustrates me sometimes because I just can’t get the shot I want, now some will say “that’s the challenge” but for me that doesn’t fly, I want to tell a story and with that story there needs to be a certain crop/composition and for that I can’t shoot everything with one lens, so I LOVE zooms, and yeah again I know their quality is often less than the primes, although some zooms are awesome and are for me on par with the primes.
