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.

New images Nadine

/3 Comments/in /by

Yesterday it was the first time I taught a photography workshop again after my knee injury (I did the DSLR video one last week) and man….. I needed this one. Doing no model photography for 4 weeks is not a good thing for me. So yesterday it was time for the Advanced I workshop and our model was the always amazing Nadine, and also this time she did her own styling (can you say wow, what is this model creative).  oh…. and in case you wonder about color, all images have a slightly different filtering, with workshops I never really work “seriewise” but more image by image so I also experiment a bit with the colors, in the end 1-2 images are really used for my portfolio, now because you see the series the difference in color draw attention 😀

So today I share some of the shots of yesterdays workshop.

Today is the last day you can get a great discount of 40% on my latest “Live in Boston DVD/Download”.
We’ve worked together with the guys from Photowhoa a few times before and I can wholeheartedly recommend them, so surf over there and get the discount, the offer ends today 😀

 

The “live in Boston” instructional videos contain more than 2 hours of material with both small flash and the big strobes, studio and location work, the videos were shot live during the 2 day workshop I taught in Boston last year and are (I think) at the moment the best ones I did. Topics like metering outside, calculating day to night, posing your models, lens choice, using small flash, working with flash benders and a full Q&A session are all included, so if you don’t already own the DVD make sure to check out the offer at http://www.photowhoa.com/frank_doorhof_workshop 

Giethoorn the Venice of the Netherlands

/6 Comments/in /by

Recently we visited Giethoorn for a small family outing.
Giethoorn is also called “the Venice of the Netherlands” because the whole village is build around a lot of canals (no roads), for me it’s always pure horror to think how people would ever get their sofas or other big furniture in, or where to park your car after groceries… pffff.

But as a visitor it’s a very nice place to be.
Because I could not yet walk a lot due to my knee injury we rented a small boat and used that to travel around in Giethoorn, but we also took a route through the large nature area around Giethoorn, do remember that these are just snaps shots, but I think that it’s sometimes fun to share some of these.

Motocross

/3 Comments/in , /by

Since my review of the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 OS I got a lot of questions how I liked it in “real life” situations. Because of my knee I did not have a lot of time to really go out and shoot, but last week we decided to take a small trip to a Motocross circuit and shoot some of the guys practicing there with the lens on the 5DMKIII. A good test for me because it was actually just the second time I tested the camera with sports.
