Bye 2012…. a year of wow

/24 Comments/in , /by

Every year I do a small overview of what the year brought and 2012 has been quite a year…. pffff
Of course there was a lot of bad news but I don’t want to focus on that, let’s keep it all positive and a bit more concentrated on what happened for us, but I do want to say that our thoughts go out to all the people that fell victim to needless violence and forces of nature.

 

Some of the highlights for me (us) from 2012:

 

Professional Imaging
2012 was the year that I finally was asked to do workshops on the main stage at the Adobe theater in Nieuwgein. I’ve been doing the Professional imaging for years now for Fotoflits (the Dutch Elinchrom agent) but never really did the main stage, but in 2012 somehow Adobe decided they wanted me up there. I prepared 9 different seminars but ended up doing only 2 because Adobe NL thought that would be better… well we proved them wrong, the room was PACKED and I mean PACKED, people were standing in the hallways. It was a great feeling because let’s be honest a “home crowd” is the hardest thing to do, but I loved you guys there. Also thanks to the organization I did a Masterclass which was sold out so PI 2012 was a huge success, and of course working with my buddies Drew Gardner and Dave Black is always fun.

Answering questions during the improvised Q&A

Photoshop World Washington
As Larry Becker once told me, the most important and fun days in the year are Christmas, birthdays of your kids/partner and PhotoshopWorld and I can wholeheartedly agree, I always feel like hanging out with family and friends when I’m at PhotoshopWorld it’s just way too much fun and it’s way too short, it’s always over before you know. And even though I’ve been a member of the team for some time now I still feel incredibly honored when I’m teaching on the showfloor or in the rooms, it’s a great ambience.

Now this is really cool, so I just had to share it.
We all know Scott Kelby right?
He is without any doubt one of the best Photoshop teachers out there. Normally you can view his classes on Kelbytraining, but this time (they are in the christmas mood already) there is an incredible videowebcast live on tuesday December 18th.

Scott has a super giveaway planned – he’s gifting a new (or renewal) one-year NAPP membership every minute to some lucky viewer! Yup, that’s 90 gift memberships! (There is a Santa Claus and he’s looking a lot like Scott Kelby.) Who knows, one of your friends could be a winner!

2 interesting workshops

/4 Comments/in , /by

Today some attention for 2 interesting workshops for the Dutch people.
And maybe also for you guys abroad because I’m working on also getting Nadine with me for some workshops abroad….

 

Nadine 7 December 2012 -_-820-Edit

1. Styling with a budget
This workshop is new and will be taught for the first time tomorrow.
The biggest problem we all face is inspiration…
what to do with a model?
what does she/he wear?
how do we pose the model?
how do we make a shot stand out?

 

In corporation with Nadine and our new stunning model Manon it will be a workshop in which we do several photoshoots from A-Z, meaning the styling, how to create a moodboard for your team, how to do the styling creativly on a budget, which light and set to go with the setup, shooting it, coaching the model and doing the retouching.
This is an insanely interesting workshop that will trigger your creative process like nothing  before. Nadine will go through three styling sets from zero to 50 euros and explain everything about those sets.

 

This workshop can be attended in the Netherlands only for the moment, but if there is enough interest we will take it on the road.
Tomorrow is the first time it’s taught but check www.fotografie-workshops.nl for other dates, you really can’t miss this one.

 

2. Fuji seminar Kamera Express (FREE)
A 100% free 90 minute seminar on travel/street photography (and of course models) in corporation with Fuji.
This saturday will be Capelle and there is a limit amount of seats available so be quick to register, as mentioned it’s 100% free and it’s a seminar you did not see from me before so make sure to check it out, I wrote it from the ground up for Fuji.
