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.

Castle workshop Belgium

/12 Comments/in /by

Today it was time for the castle workshop in Duffel Belgium.
Later this week I will write an article about the workshop with some techniques explained, but that is better done when I’ve retouched the images. We’ve just arrived back home and I already did the selection and there are some nice images there, so I can’t wait to work on those and share them here. As usual we shot some backstage video material with the HF11 and of course the iPhone 4 (man do I love that phone), the iPhone 4 material I edited on the way back home and just finished uploading it, so here you can enjoy the video first. Next week I will write the article with technique etc. Remember these videos are just for fun and are shot and edited on a smartphone so don’t expect more than just that.

Some small news updates and links.

Today we are in Belgium doing a workshop in a beautiful castle ruin so no technical piece or photos, sorry.
I’m typing this from the bed and breakfast we are staying in and it will be online tomorrow morning.
So I decided to make today a small news update.

On Wednesday night I was interviewed for NIK radio over Skype.
In about an hour we talked about technique, metering, my vision on the photography market a bit on help portrait in the Netherlands, and much more. Make sure to check it out on http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/nik-radio/id365360524

This is a question that has been asked so many times that I thought it would probably be fun to have a small blog post about it.
There are many thoughts among photographers ranging from “hey man we’ll fix that in Photoshop” to “Photoshop ?, nah straight out of the camera”.
I have to be honest I’m a bit in between.

Natural light photoshoot

/14 Comments/in , /by

As many of you know I love to use flash on location, but what many don’t realize is that I love to just go out with a model with one camera and lens, in this case the Canon 5D MKII and Canon 70-200f2.8 IS L and nothing more except the sun. I do have to add that I mostly do this with models who already have a great portfolio from me and don’t really need something because with natural light only there always is a risc that things don’t turn out the way you want, however to be honest when you know how to search for the light in 99% of the cases the series will turn out great.
