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.

Day 1 Professional imaging

First day of the Professional imaging is always very busy, but this year…. Oh my.. they had to open a few minutes earlier because it was too busy outside, I never heard that before, and I know why… Matt Kloskowski openend the day with a wonderful keynote about compositing where he shot a model and within the hour he created a stunning image with a simple backdrop he shot the day before. And don’t think it took him an hour to work on the image, that went lighting fast, in that hour he explained something about compositing, did the shoot and did the editing of both the background as the model, very cool stuff. If you did not plan on visiting the Professional Imaging, make sure you do, this keynote alone is worth it (well and my demos also of course), I immensely enjoyed it.

After that it was time for my first workshop at the Elinchrom booth.

Pre show day Professional imaging 2011

Today it was time to build the booth and to check some final things for the show which will start tomorrow.
We met up with Matt which was loads of fun and he will have an AWESOME keynote, really you don’t want to miss this.
We did a small backstage video from the booth which you can see in this blog post.
By the way our hotel is great but the shower is a bit weird/kinky…… Yeah you can see right into the shower from the bed 😀 but hey you don’t hear me complain just glad I’m not here with a group of strangers if you know what I mean.

I will try to upload a small video every day after the shows so keep checking.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

The things that you really need…..

A lot of people ask me about those little things that really are necessary to own.
If you look at the gear guide on this page you can already see some of the items I will mention in this thread. But I think it’s interesting to also do a small blog post about some of the items that will save your session, or add some amazing creative options…..
So here we go.

Small news item

A quick news update for today.

Professional Imaging 2011
We are about to leave for the Professional Imaging 2011.
A great tradeshow in the Netherlands were we always look forward to, meeting some new and old friends and of course I’m there teaching on the Elinchrom booth. This year will be special because I will be demoing the Elinchrom USB kit, the Leaf Aptus12 (80mp back) and some surprises. We will also be working closely with the guys from OnOne that will be demonstrating some of their magic with my shots.
I will also be doing some small portfolio reviews for people who bring their portfolio, so if you’re gone be there let me know.
This year is a real must see because Matt Kloskowski will also be there, and trust me you DON’T want to miss him.
