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.

Shooting in the snow

YES we have snow in the Netherlands, well actually we have had snow since this weekend. The funny thing about the Netherlands (well actually not funny) is that immediately the whole country lies flat on it’s back, incredibly long traffic jams, no more trains and I wonder how long it will take this time before the salt runs out. Yes you read it correctly we use salt to make “sure” the roads aren’t slippery. The last few years every time the government claims that they have learned from the last time and that there will be more than enough salt, and every time it’s gone within a week 🙂

But of course we also photograph in the snow and this brings some problems, so today some small tips and a small video containing the tips.

Monique backstage video

During the photoshoot with Monique (results you could see on Saturday) Sharon (our intern) shot a small backstage video, and also edited it. So today you can see a small backstage view of the photoshoot.

Happy Birthday Annewiek

Normally I don’t post a blogpost on Sunday, however today there is a special occasion.
Today my wife Annewiek celebrates her 37th birthday.
Sometimes you just know that you found your soulmate and with Annewiek I know this for sure. She is always with me during the workshops abroad and is responsible for most of the filming of our instructional DVDs, so a lot of you guys abroad know Annewiek, today we will be celebrating her birthday with a nice diner with our family and of course a nice relax day.

 

It would be cool if a lot of people congratulate Annewiek via this blog or via her Facebook on http://www.facebook.com/Annewiekdoorhof
Thanks in advance 😀

Monique compositing

This week Monique visited our studio for a quick photo-shoot, her idea was to do something with a mime/clownesque looking outfit. When I saw the clothes I decided this was not something to just shoot in the studio and thought it would be nice to make it a little bit more “surreal”.

So here are my favorite shots of the day.

First two “normal” images, just enhanced the color a “little” bit.
And now the two composites.
