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.

Christianne new images

/6 Comments/in /by

Last Friday it was the first time for me to teach the new workshop Studio Technique I.
During the year I always rewrite my workshops, add new images and some new techniques/tips etc. however with workshop I there was a huge change and it’s always exciting to teach a workshop I’ve been doing for many years in a totally new form, and to be honest it rocked. Over the years the workshop was updated of course but with the rewrite I took a completely different approach for the first workshop, it’s still the same theory but in a more practical way explained with more examples and stories behind the images.

In this blogpost some images from this workshop with Christianne.

Social media quick links

/8 Comments/in , /by

During a google plus hang out someone asked me my Google Plus account.
A while ago I made the following link : https://frankdoorhof.com/+  which will forward you directly to my google Plus account, somehow a lot of people don’t know how to do this so I thought maybe a little blogtip was in place.

 

It’s actually very easy to do if you have access to your web server. Just make a new directory called + and in that place a redirect file and that’s it.

 

<html>
<head>
<title>A web page that points a browser to a different page after 2 seconds</title>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0; URL=https://plus.google.com/118026639398463272784/posts”>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”automatic redirection”>
</head>
<body>
If your browser doesn’t automatically go there within a few seconds,
you may want to go to
<a href=”https://plus.google.com/118026639398463272784/posts”>the destination</a>
manually.
</body>
</html>

 

Rename this as index.html and put it into the directory, and you’re done.

 

So I’ve done this for twitter, Facebook and google plus as :
www.frankdoorhof.com/+
www.frankdoorhof.com/t
www.frankdoorhof.com/f 
But you can use anything you like of course, however this is easy to remember and for people to figure out.

Fashion with a model

/9 Comments/in /by

Today some images from the series I did with a new model.
Although it’s not the best weather out here we did decide to do a part of the photoshoot outside. On location there are several options but one of the things that always excite me is the Elinchrom Ranger Quadra, as you see in the link I would always couple it with an A head for some extra speed when you need it, and trust me there will always be a moment where you do need it. Of course one can add a lot of extra accessories, you can even get a conversion ring for the quadra to fit the larger Elinchrom accessories to the quadra (Elinchrom Ranger Quadra Reflector Adaptor for EL Reflectors), but somehow with the Quadra I just love the light that the small original reflector creates, and I find myself very often just using that one (it also saves a lot on carrying around gear).
