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.

Calibration. Don’t forget it

/in /by

A quick reminder for you guys to regularly calibrate your monitor.

I’m using a BenQ monitor which also supports hardware calibration. Which for our work (photography and video) is a huge plus.

Standard settings that will almost always work for you are
D65, 120-130cdm, profile 2 (not 4), gamma 2.2
Just keep those and you’ll be pretty ok.

Now remember to calibrate at least every 3-4 weeks. But preferably before every important retouch session. Do make sure you let the monitor warm up for at least half an hour.

Calibration is fast and simple. Don’t skip it. It really makes a huge difference. And can get you out of a lot of trouble 😉

New videotrailer: Glamour, Light of the old masters trailer

Mastering the Model Shoot 5; Glamour, Light of the old masters.

Order your download here: https://bit.ly/3oziGHk

Do you love the light in the paintings from the old masters like Rembrandt or Vermeer, Frans Hals or Jan Steen? What about the B/W photographers in the previous century, like Harcourt, George Hurrell, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ansel Adams? Their stunning photos are still admired by a lot of people and photographers. Their work is still regularly shown in museums and exhibitions.

Frank’s workshop about Classical lighting is always sold out. He gets a lot of questions about this lighting from students who cannot attend the workshops. Which inspired him to make an instructional video about these successful lighting setups. He breaks it down so that It’s really not that hard.

In this video, Frank shows you how to shoot like the masters using modern techniques and gear. Including, how to meter the light and which light and modifiers to use. He will explain camera settings and of course shows you the results and more examples of photos he already took in this genre. Sometimes with a lot of lights, but mostly with one or two. Additionally, he takes you outside, just using the sun and some cool lenses.

In the end, there is a whole extended chapter where he also reveals a few of his secrets for special effects on a budget!

Topics covered are:
• How to work with Flags
• Special effect lenses
• How to photograph with blinds
• Classic and vintage lenses
• Storytelling with a light setting the mood
• Combining strobes with continuous light
• Tips and tricks from the studio floor

Runtime over 90 minutes

The best Lightroom CC updates for color grading and export

/in , /by

Adobe releases several updates to their suite on a very regular basis, sometimes the updates are small, sometimes it feels like new software.

Lightroom CC has been a vital part of my workflow for a while now, and especially during this pandemic and lockdowns it’s more and more growing into the app I’m using the most seeing we don’t do a lot of modelphotography at the moment but more on the road with the bike. And somehow Lightroom CC was always cool but it was lacking in some areas compared to Lightroom Classic and other solutions.

With this update Adobe added an awesome colorgrading option plus enhanced export with….. graphics (finally), and of course some more things, but in this video I focus on those two.
