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.

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.

Meeting with Rick Sammon and shooting….

/6 Comments/in /by

Some people you meet and you know immediately they are “real”, Photographer Rick Sammon is one of those people.
We met up at Photoshop World in Orlando and there was an immediate “click” we both are passionate about what we do and also in our approach to teaching there are many topics we think the same about. When hanging out after Photoshop World it was soon decided that Rick and his wife Susan would visit us during their trip to Europe, and Monday it was time for the meeting. As you can imagine I was really looking forward to this meeting and everyone who has seen Rick’s work knows why 😀

Results castle workshop

/17 Comments/in /by

Because this was a glamour workshop, some images might be considered not safe for work.

On April 16th 2011 I taught a workshop in Duffel Belgium.
The idea behind the workshop to teach a small group of 12 students to see the options to change the available light to fit the idea you have in your mind. Because I love to teach in different locations than a standard studio the organizer Johnny arranged a nice castle in ruins close to his studio. (Johnny also arranged the El Paso workshops so I knew it would work out fine and there would be some great sandwiches).
