Wibi live shots

/7 Comments/in /by

Every year Wibi Soerjadi gives several christmas concerts throughout the Netherlands, this year was very special because it was his 30 year celebration as a pro musician, and of course right after the release of his new CD. The christmas concerts are always great and something I love to visit. This year we choose the Concert gebouw in Amsterdam, an awesome location for a concert like this. Normally photography is strictly forbidden during a classical concert but I have certain privileges with Wibi and he asked me to make some impressions of the concert which I loved to do of course.

The first part of the concert I was located at the balcony seats and was able to shoot a few images from there (best place in the house :D)

Commercial shots with Valeriya

A while ago Valeriya asked me if I would be interested to do some more commercial looking images, smiling, moving etc. Because I don’t have a lot of those in my portfolio I decided it would be a great way to add those with a great model. So here is my selection of favorite shots from that session, with many thanks to Ike for the makeup.

 

For the first images I used the amazing 1.50mtr Elinchrom indirect Octa.

First of all we wish you all a very nice Christmas for the coming days, and would like to leave you with a post with some images I shot during last weeks workshop with Marie. Most were shot with the new Schneider T&S lens for the Phase/Mamiya system.

 

For the outside shots I used the following gear :
Elinchrom Ranger RX 1100 Watt/Second Kit with “A” Head
Elinchrom Skyport SPEED Transmitter (to control the output of the ranger)
Elinchrom Maxilite Reflector -16″, I highly recommend the maxi light for the simple reason it’s without a doubt one of the best modifiers for using outside, the light quality is very nice and crispy, but most of all it will give you app. 2 stops more output so your batteries run longer and recycling is much faster. If you’re shooting outside a lot this is a must buy.
