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.

You’re favorite shot

The story of the image…..
Let’s try something with a thread about your favorite shots and the story behind them, and just keep adding…..
I will kick off.

You know my work consists of a lot of fashion shots, however I LOVE to do other stuff also. This image is one of the shots I took during one of the games I shot from our sons soccer team.

People always look a bit weird when I shoot sports because I sit very close to the ground (to make the players look taller) and they are not used to that with these kind of games, most parents are there with their point and shoots and using flash to reach the other side of the field 😀

In this case I actually thought the ball would go towards one of our players (the one in blue) and I guess he also thought that, but in reality the ball went the other way hitting one of the green players right in the face, I really felt sorry for the little guy, but I love the shot 😀

It was shot with the 5D and shot in RAW, even sports I shoot in RAW when I do it for fun, it just leaves me with a lot more “punch” to work with. You can see I did not expected the ball to go this way because the crop is actually a bit too tight, but I always make my composition a bit too wide with sports and in this case it saved the day….

So share your favorite image and it’s story.

Greetings,
Frank

Alternative videoclip

/6 Comments/in /by
Today a special video.
Recently we shot a videoclip for a Rap Dutch artist.
I only started doing videoclips recently and this is my second attempt at something that can be called a videoclip (lots to learn I know :D).It’s the alternative edit.
The original videoclip will be released in a few weeks and is edited by another editor. However because I want to practice I decided to do an alternative “Frank” edit for this clip how I see it. Probably not “good enough” for the target audience 😀 All filming (for both clips) is done by me with the 5DMKII and in the official there will also be some GoPro footage  which I did not include in my edit.

Today a collection of some of my favorite shots from the workshops I did last week with Marie and Nirmala.
The shots with Marie are done during the small flash workshop so were all shot with the small flash strobes.
The top one with the awesome Rogue grid set by the way, make sure to get one, you will love it.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Some random shots from Lisanne

Sometimes we try something new in the studio.
Most of the times this is the start of something that I will try to work out in the future, in this case I wanted to create some “impossible” light setups. For this setup I shot the scene first without the model and later added the model(s) and the lights and blended those together to the end result. For this setup I used really flat lights, in the future this will be changed to more contrast lights.

During the day we also did some video to test out the new Sapphire Edge plugins for Final Cut Pro X for which I’m part of their beta program. The plugins are great and open up a lot of creativity. So during the day I also went outside with Lisanne to do some natural light shots and did some video to test out Final Cut Pro X before starting to use it on an assignment later this month (a new videoclip).
