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.

TFP

Today a small blogpost (but very important one) about a term called TFP.
TFP means officially : Time For Print.
Often now a days it’s called : Time For CD

So what is TFP?
TFP means that you do a photoshoot (or something else) without getting paid.
“You said what? I don’t get paid for my time, what is going on?”
Yep you heard me correctly, YOU (and your whole team) doesn’t get paid.
Some people will now say that they will never do stuff like that (anymore), but let’s think about it.

models from the USA

During our recent “workshop/seminar tour” I worked with several models, in this blog post some images I personally liked from these sessions. Remember that most are done during situations that are not really making it possible to shoot portfolio material to say the least. With the retouching of these images I always play around with different colors to give the models more to choose from, so there will be some color differences between images from the same set.

The first ones were done during the pre-con workshop I taught during Photoshop World in Washington DC.

New York

New York, somehow this city has a weird attraction on me. I strongly believe that I could spend months over there and just only do street photography and never would be bored. We visited New York a few years ago for a workshop and we spend over a week there and to be honest it yielded the most images I ever shot during a stay somewhere. So when I heard I would be teaching a seminar at B&H in New York I was very excited to also do some street photography there, the only problem for me was that I would only be in New York for one day, but I decided to make the best of it.

 

In this blogpost some of my favorite shots from that day.

Final images USA

The last few days I’ve been posting some material shot during our 2 weeks stay in the US, today the final images that I like but were not fit for the other posts. They are just holiday snaps but I think worthwhile for the blog. Most were shot in locations we found while driving from Washington to New York and Boston. We always drive “off the roads” so we end up in places that are not often visited by tourists and show a different “story” / “view” than the well know tourists sites, and to be honest I like this the most.
