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.
To all the readers from this blog a happy new year and that 2011 will be the best year ever for you and your loved ones.
We will continue to spam you guys with new images, videos and the live broadcast part will be used more in 2011, and lots more of exciting stuff without a doubt 😉
So from our team, and of course Frank, Annewiek and Brian Doorhof all the best for 2011.
Yesterday (Wednesday) it was Tamlyn’s turn again to be my model during the glamour workshop.
As mentioned before on this blog I absolutely love the glamour workshops, during these workshops I always try to keep the workshop as “free” as possible. Just like the advanced workshops there is a lot of attention for the more “portfolio” like shots. And with Tamlyn we always have a great model with lots of possibilities.
During this workshop we started out with a simple setting where Tamlyn was sitting in a chair and she was lit by only one strip light with grid.
I love this way of lighting because you can really point the light exactly where you want it to go. A strip light without a grid is also great of course but adding a grid really makes a huge difference. In our studio we use the grids from Lighttools and we fitted one on the Deep Octa and one on a Chimera striplight.
After the sitting pose we moved Tamlyn to the wall and did a small session were the main attention was on controlling contrast and coaching the model, especially the part on how NOT to coach your model is the part I love to do and I can go all out which often results in hilarious situations 😀
For today we decided it would be nice to experiment a bit with a mirror and see what we could do with it.
Make sure to check out this awesome promovideo done by Adam Rorhmann.
Adam was my main camera man (and great person) while I was shooting my videos in Tampa FL for Kelbytraining, and he got me introduced to Yahoo’s (hope I spell that correctly).
Make sure to also check out his other work…… at http://www.youtube.com/user/AdamRohrmann
Feel free to share and comment.
The instructional video is now online at www.kelbytraining.com and the first part is free.
I love to do things I normally don’t do.
Because we’re always busy with workshops and seminars it’s often very difficult to find some time to shoot something for my own portfolio, but sometimes…….
app. 2 years ago I made a deal with Katherina that we would work something out and she would do a shoot with me, yes you read it correctly it took us two years to plan our session, our agendas were not exactly compatible so to speak. But when we found a spot it was quickly decided we would do a “sexy” but “fashionlike” duo shoot with an extra model. After a small post on a modelsite we decided Kim would fit the bill (and she did).
As with most of my portfolio sessions the MUA for the shoot was Linda Rutgers from www.beautyfx.nl I always love to work with Linda so it promised to be a great shoot.
I started out with some solo shots for Kim (which you will see first in this blog post), and at the moment Katherina was done with the makeup we started doing the duo part of the photoshoot. For the first scene we used a white wall and a simple lightsetup with the Deep Octa and the Lighttools grid. This always gives a very nice contrasty image and I love to use that combo.
