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.

New shots Stephanie

Today a simple blog post with some new images.
I’m writing a technical blogpost at the moment that will be released somewhere tomorrow or the weekend about calibration workflow so keep looking for that one 😀

Yesterday Stephanie was our model for a 1:1 workshop, in this blog posts some of my favorite images from that workshop. During the 1:1 workshops the student can of course make their own workshop, so they are always fun to teach because in fact there is no real standard workshop, whatever the student wants to know we work to in the workshop.

In this case the questions were ranging from high contrast fashion setups to movement, and for jumps Stephanie must be one of my favorite models, her personality is already jumping all over the place and give her the chance to jump for a photo and you have to do your best to keep her on the ground 😀

Nadine in different settings

I’ve been incredibly busy the last few months so there was little to no time for free work, meaning as mentioned many times on the blog that most of the images I showed were shot during the workshops and although we can of course use themes, different clothing etc. during the workshops, which I always do to keep the workshops fresh and challenging, it’s not the same as a free work session. During the workshops I will always make a few images to show the results and after that the students are up for the shoot. When I work for myself I take a bit more time to check if I really nailed the shot I wanted.

Yesterday it was time for such a shoot and with Nadine as my model it was assured we would also have some very nice styling, one day when she stops modelling I’m 100% sure she will return many times to the studio as stylist.

The team for today was :
Model : Nadine Stephan
Assistants : Dilani Butink and Wendy Appelman
Photographer : Frank Doorhof

We also shot some video during the day which will be edited later this week and hopefully uploaded starting next week.

Stephanie expressions and fun

On Saturday it was time for the Workshop Studio Technique 1.
Normally this workshop has a strict program because it’s the first workshop in line and there is a lot of information to swallow. However due to some sick students we ended up with a smaller group than normal and that meant much more time to experiment and fool around.
And when we have Stephanie as our model…. well you guessed it, a perfect combination.
So without wasting more words, here are some of the shots I took during the workshop.

Video Sandy Dane festival

A while ago I was invited by Sandy Dane for one of her festivals, due to a real incompatible agenda it was not possible for me on some occasions to visit, however when the date February 12th came up I saw an option and booked that date right away.
In a previous blog post I already showed some images… https://frankdoorhof.com/web/?p=1019 and I promised a small video.
Well that went a bit wrong, I did shoot some material during the concert and put this together for my own personal use and thought it would not run longer than 5-6 minutes, however while editing I really did not wanted to cut material and decided it would be better to just keep the video complete for upload, so you can see the complete video here.

REMEMBER !!!!
I’m not a video concert shooter, and I’m not a concert photographer.
This video was shot handheld just as fun for myself and the artists, please view it as that so don’t think I have the idea that this is a professional registration, it’s just for fun, so please also view it as that.
