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.

Our forum revived….

A long time ago in a galaxy………
Well ok.

A while ago I used a static page as my website and a SMF installation as my blog. The blog grew slightly and people wanted to ask questions, this is why I used the forum software so that was made easy. Over time however the blog grew more and more into a forum and I slowly changed it to that. There were some great ideas for the forum like sharing the images done during the workshops but somehow I never pushed it through.

Last year I started using wordpress for my site and that meant that I was given the opportunity to have a real blog, which I decided to build first. At the moment the blog is updated almost every day with news items, reviews, photo shoots and of course the great guest bloggers. But the forum slowly disappeared to the background, it was updated, there were visitors but the blog grew much faster than the forum which of course is understandable when you don’t give attention to the forum. Well I’ve decided to change this. As of today the forum can be found on a new location http://www.doorhof.nl/forum and will get a new look.

So head over and register and start the discussion with each other, ask questions, share images and start building the community 😀
Have fun.

Glamour workshop with Lisanne (some images NSFW)

/8 Comments/in /by

Yesterday I taught the glamour workshop, this time Lisanne was our model.
It was the first time Lisanne did the glamour workshop and I have to say she did great and will be back without a doubt, but you can judge that yourself by the images of course.

Finding models for the glamour workshops is something that seems to be harder and harder for me, I guess I’m too picky the last few years :D. Lisanne I met during a Dutch Heaven meet and greet and I immediately loved her attitude and looks, an appointment was made a few weeks later for a testshoot and she did one standard workshop before the glamour workshop yesterday.

Photoshop Vegas confirmed
It was actually already a bit known but I never bring something as new as long as it’s not confirmed, but today it was confirmed. I will be present as instructor at Photoshop World in Vegas. Looking forward to meeting up with the team again and have some fun (and midnight burgers :D)
When you visit Photoshop World Vegas let me know.

Video Professional Imaging 2011
Yeah it’s been a while but it was very hectic over here, right after the Pro Imaging we started preparing for Photoshop World and when we arrived back from that spectacle it was Belgium. In between we found some time to edit the video from the Professional Imaging 2011, so here it is. Oh, I added some remarks during the video, never did that before so I hope you enjoy them 😀

Photoshoot Jessica (testsession)

/6 Comments/in /by

At the moment I’m hard at work to find some new models for the Dutch workshops.
I often use sites like ModelMayhem, Dutchheaven etc. to find the models and of course sometimes we just find someone on the street. Jessica found the casting call on ModelMayhem and send me some images and her ideas and to be honest I loved her images, so I invited her for a so called “testsession”. In these testsessions we do a few setups and see how the models pose and perform in front of the camera. If I need a lot of coaching the model is often not so perfect for the workshops, which by the way does not mean it’s a bad model, but posing in a workshop is something else than in a 1:1 session with a photographer.

Well to make a long story short, meet Jessica.
Jessica will be one of the new models for our workshops, she will start out with the fashion workshops and perhaps in the future she will also get into the glamour workshops.
