New portfolio

Maybe you already noticed it, but the old portfolio has been gone for a while.
Out went a lot of images and I tried to stay below 20 images per category, and yes that did hurt.
But whatever I tried I could not find something that worked the way I wanted, the portfolio looked nice but I got a lot of questions if I also would be willing to sell prints and to build that into my own website…. well to make a long story short that did not work.

During the SWPP I met up with the guys from www.smugmug.com and it didn’t take long before I knew that I wanted to have something online under their vision. Last week I got the mail I was waiting for from their custom department with the message that I could start uploading images. So if you did not see the portfolio yet make sure to check it out via the portfolio page, or surf direct to frankdoorhof.smugmug.com

 

And if you’re looking for a great way to present your images…. well they ROCK.

the new rogue strip

Nadine Februari 15 2115-EditI love the guys from Expoimaging, it’s a company that really listens to the wishes of their customers.
I already loved the flashbenders but when I said I would love a strip version it didn’t take that long before they gave me a beta sample of the strip that is released this month, and I can tell you IT ROCKS. Make sure to check it out as soon as it’s released, I’m 100% sure you’re gonna love it.

 

If you like what we do with the blog and you want this product (and I’m sure you will) please order it via this link at B&H (they ship worldwide)

 

Today two images I shot with Nadine while testing the striplight. Also make sure to check out our video with the new flash benders which will be released soon.

New workshop (DUTCH/ENGLISH)

As you probably already know when students ask me about certain workshops I will always try to figure something out and add the topics to an existing workshop or create a whole new one (like the “styling and creativity” workshop with Nadine).

 

For a while I’ve been playing with the idea to do a complete workflow workshop, and seeing that my new book is about to be released, which in fact will cover the complete A-Z for a model shoot, I thought it was a great time to start doing the “Model/Fashion shoot from A-Z” workshops.

Marie Februari 12 2013-15-EditThe difference between this new workshop and the workshops I already teach is that in this full day workshop there is complete run down of the shoot (3-4 sets per day) including information on :
