Dutch Help Portrait

/in , /by

We have been busy behind the screens with the Dutch version of Help – Portrait.
You can find more information on http://www.help-portret.nl 
If you are based in the Netherlands or can help us with more media attention to make this a huge success please let me know and I will guide you to the right region or for national media I will make sure the contacts will be used. Help Portrait in the Netherlands is already very well organized but we now need to get the public aware of the project. I took up the proud task to arrange everything for the Netherlands after some talks with the original initiator Jeremy Cowart in the US during my teaching at PSW. At the moment we have several regions up and running and my own region is also almost done. However now it’s important to reach the media and that’s difficult, especially the nation wide media, so if you can help out in ANY way, or

 

if you have connections please let me know and make Help Portret NL a huge success.
The video has been edited and translated to Dutch by my good friend Gert Kracht, MANY MANY thanks guy.
Please share this video with everyone you know, put it on your website, try to get it on TV, whatever small thing or big thing you can do.

Elinchrom 1.50 Deep Indirect Octa review part II

/7 Comments/in , /by

This is the second part of the mini review on the Elinchrom Deep Octa.
In the previous part   I talked a bit about shooting with the new Deep Octa without any diffusion and using it for full body shots. The shots you find in this part were all shot during the workshop the day after Part I and feature Marie. In this case I installed the middle diffuser and used it as a sort of “beauty” light for the first series.

For years I’ve been reading and enjoying Digital Photo Pro magazine, they have some of the best interviews and photographers in the magazine and also a lot of new talent that I just love, so for me it’s an honor that in the November issue of DPP you can find an advert for the great Rogue products with one of my images and a small interview.


Tomorrow part II of the Elinchrom 1.50 Octa review by the way 😀

Elinchrom 1.50 indirect Octa

/5 Comments/in , /by

In a country far far away…. (well actually it was Germany) I first saw a proto type of the Elinchrom 1.50mtr indirect Octa. From that first contact I fell in love with it. Some modifiers you see and you immediately become enthusiastic, the light had to be awesome. I love the 1.90mtr indirect Octa and my most used soft box must be the Deep octa which I advise to every photographer. However with the 1.90mtr you are getting a beautiful soft light but it misses some “bite”, the Deep Octa gives you that “bite” but it’s just a bit too small for some applications. When shooting full bodies I always remove the translucent material from the 1.90mtr to give it a bit more “edge” but it’s still a huge soft box with beautiful light but sometimes you just want something more…..


The moment I saw the 1.50mtr indirect octa I knew it….. this thing will rock.
