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.

Why should I use LR or Aperture

/14 Comments/in , /by

As you could read last week I made the switch from Aperture to LR4.
Just to make it 100% clear, not because I don’t like Aperture (far from that) but because at the moment only 2 of my cameras are supported by Aperture and soon only 1. And to be honest that’s a bit too much of a hassle, I’m shooting with a lot of different cameras lately and it’s a real problem when you can’t browse through your images and compare them in the same software…..

Now because of the extra attention on my blog for this switch I also got a lot of questions from people that did not use any form of software to catalogue/browse or work on images, instead of answering these questions by mail I decided to make a blog post about it.

A year with Frank

/3 Comments/in /by

Today a bit of extra attention for an unique new program.
Over the years I’ve been asked many many times if it is possible to run an internship within our studio, and I always have to say “no, sorry” simply because I already run an internship with one student from a photography school for 6 months in a run, and we don’t have room for more students. The learning process however is very interesting. As a photographer I strongly believe it’s very important to not only be able to shoot one kind of thing, but you should specialize in more areas of photography, in other words, use the skills you have in different areas and learn from them all.

But how to achieve this…..?
within the workshops I can teach my students a lot, we run around 10 different kind of workshops and together it’s (I think) more powerful than most so called Photography schools (not to say that all are bad, but there are some…..) However there are always things that I simply cannot fit into a workshop but I do in for example the internship. Think about the business side, the way to build your brand, how to connect, how contracts work, how to make the proper invoices and draw your customers in etc…. there is so much it would take me a year to explain….. well…..

Over the years we’ve released a new instructional DVD almost every year.
Of course there are a lot of questions about the DVDs so I’ve decided to dedicate this blogpost to some of the FAQ (and some fun).
