Today a very special guestblog by Torsten.
Torsten works for the German magazine Pictures and will tell you today what an editor looks for, I think this will be very interesting for you guys….

 

The strange guy on the other side of the fence
You all know me in a way – at least if you’re familiar with Hollywood movies. I’m the guy with the big cigar, rolled up shirt sleeves and braces, yelling at the poor sods working for me, always running for the big story. Yes, I’m the boss, the editor in chief – in our case of a photo magazine.

Video with Polaroid

/4 Comments/in , , , /by

Last week Sharon and I visited a good friend and fellow photographer Pim van der Maden in his studio, which actually is very close to our studio (walking distance). Pim and I talked a few months ago about a large format Polaroid he still owned but hardly used anymore, I immediately got the idea that it would be cool to show you guys a small video in which Pim would explain how he worked with this camera.

When we started working with the camera the talk however soon became much more than just about the Polaroid, we just kept the camera rolling and decided we would edit it into a small “podcast” “interview on location” “instructional” video. And today you can see the video here on the blog. I hope you enjoy it, and even if you’re not into Polaroids (who isn’t ?) I think there are some very interesting things there that you can use in your own photography.

Many thanks to Emma, Pim and Sharon.

Guestblog Aldwin Cusi

/6 Comments/in /by

During the NIK competition we have been running over the last few weeks some amazing images came in, because I love street photography the following images really struck me and I decided it was without a doubt worth to have a guestblog on my blog, so here it is, I’m sure you’re gonna love it.

 

First, I want to express my thanks to Frank and his team for this AWESOME oppurturnity to be a guest on his blog. It is truly an honor, cause his amazing works and sharings of his knowledge has been an inspiration to me.

 

Hi! Im Aldwin Cusi, my passion for photography started 2 years ago as a hobby, right now I’m starting to venture into the business side of it as a portrait photographer, I just love making pictures of people, their expressions and emotions are priceless and could never be repeated once that moments have passed so having made that picture and the knowing that your subjects loves it, is fulfilling whether it be clients, models, friends, relatives or even a stranger in the streets. As I have mentioned streets, I usually spend my free time going for a photo walk at Downtown Toronto, doing street photography, and still my favorite subjects are people, I like taking candid shots as their expressions are more natural.

Images from around the world

Now this is a guestblog (and hopefully more) I was really looking forward to.
During the NIK competition (which will run till the end of the year by the way) I got some images that really struck something with me, I asked the photographer(s) about them and got an amazing story about them traveling around the world, and I can just imagine what that would be like, and I thought “that would be a great guestblog, and maybe even some repeated ones”, so without wasting to much of your time, here is the guest blog from C and I as they call themselves 😀

First of all we would like to thank Frank and his team for the opportunity to be here on his blog as guest writers. It’s a true pleasure as Frank is one of the leading teachers out there and since a while he went up to the roof-top-gang around Scott Kelby. Beyond awesome! And here we have first met Frank, sitting next to him at Photoshop World Orlando this year. Ever since we are following his amazing work.
