It’s been a long wait for you guys, but the great news is that everything is now at Peachpit, so normally it will take between 6-8 weeks and the book should be on the shelves. The reason it took so long is because we wanted to give you the best book possible on Model Photography, and I strongly feel we succeeded, I had an amazing team and together we went through the book analyzing every part and adding/taking away stuff to create the best possible reading and learning experience. Up until last week I’ve been adding new material so it’s a book that is 100% up to date with what I do at the moment. And the layout…. I can’t tell you how excited I am about that, the team at KelbyMedia have really outdone themselves it’s just…. stunning and I think you will agree as soon as you see the book, it’s not just a learning tool but I think it will end up on a lot of coffee tables also.

 

Anyway, that’s the news for today, and because we are so excited I also want to give you all something to cover the time between now and waiting for release of the book so we are running a buying frenzy with my instructional videos on the download page on this website, if you check out with the code “book” you will get a 50% (yep you read that correctly 50%) discount. So if you have not seen the videos, or are just missing one in your collection this is your chance to complete it.

 

So surf to https://frankdoorhof.com/web/shop-videos-etc/direct-video-downloads/ and join the frenzy 😀
The book can be pre-ordered on Amazon and other sites, direct link to Amazon.com if you want signed copies you will have to wait till we have the book in the webstore.

New instructional video

/in , , /by

After the very successful “Live in Boston” video it took a long time for you guys to get a new instructional video, the reason for this is very simple. I only release something if we think it’s a real addition to our program, and this release sure is. We’re very excited about this one. It’s not only the longest we ever released, but it’s also the first in HD, the first with an extended piece on Photoshop and Lightroom and it’s so full with tips and tricks it will probably almost overdose some viewers 🙂

 

So I’m very proud to introduce to you our new instructional video :

cover live in new jersey

Frank Doorhof : Live in New Jersey : fashion with a glamour twist

Topics :
Live shoots
Working with limited gear, understanding light and choosing your modifiers, working with high contrast lighting, coaching the models, finding the right angles, working with lensflares, getting special effects with light that others think must be Photoshop, telling/finding the story, talk about the expression/poses and eyes of the models, working in tight spaces, working with 2 models and lighting them perfectly with one strobe, working with the lightmeter, black and white canvas techniques for lighting setups that rock, special lenses for special looks, the importance of the viewpoint and much much more.

 

Q&A:
Too much information to type down but think about :
Discussion on B&W, social media, building your brand, how to work with your website, streetphotography vs fashion, how to work with clients, business tips, Photoshop opinions, creating the special look, the need to understand light, how to work with models.

 

Photoshop/Lightroom:

The instructional video is 6.4GB in size and is full 1080P HD, the file is ready for your iPad/iPhone/Apple TV. We shot the video with several cameras to create a good look about what’s going on. This is without any doubt the most complete instructional video I ever did so make sure to check it out.
