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.
I love to shoot fashion, and most of all I love to shoot the more classical dresses, so when Marie came to our workshop with a selection of classical dresses I have to say I was in heaven :D. Today the images from the first day with the dresses, because Marie was doing 3 workshops in a row (1:1, advanced and DSLR filming) you will see Marie coming around a few times on the blog this week, but I don’t think you will mind.
The last few days you have read some tips and saw some images from the workshop with Susanne, today just a post with the rest of my favorite shots from that workshop. And one last tip from that series.
A lot of people struggle with the question “Should my model look into the camera, or not?”
Well I think there is no real 100% answer that will fit all situations, for me it’s often more interesting if a model doesn’t look into the camera, but sometimes it’s so much stronger if she does. When you are in doubt, always shoot both. It sounds like a very obvious tip however it’s one that is often overlooked. Somehow you sometimes seems to be locked into a “program” mode and forget to think about the other options. Especially with the “looking into the camera” shots it’s however very easy to shoot both very quickly. In most of my light setups it will however not work because I often place my light sources under a more extreme angle, but in a case like this I will always try both…. my personal favorite ? the second one 🙂
Last week I taught the small flash workshop. I really love this one because every time I teach this workshop I will try out new things to do with the small flash units. Camera used on these images is the Canon 5DMKII and one strobe Canon 580EXII. For the first images I used only this, so the open strobe without any modifier.
For the Dutch visitors of this blog I wanna give you the following link….
Here you can enter a new competition for this month, the site has a lot of these competitions but this one is a bit special for me…. because they asked me to join their jury for this series, so enter your best shot and maybe I will draw the lucky winner from one of you guys. The winner will not only win the price itself (which is always cool from them) but also a guest blog on my blog about the winning shot.
GOOD LUCK.
