Downloadable instructional DVDs

/4 Comments/in , /by

It has been asked many times, but to be honest I was not yet ready for it.
However since the release of “Live in Boston” things have changed, we never sold so many DVDs in the first week of the release, but we also got a lot of questions about the shipping costs abroad, the main problem is that we really can’t help the shipping costs abroad….We also got some complaints about certain countries that would not deliver the DVDs because there were girls on the cover (all covered by the way), we solved this in most cases by sending the DVDs without covers but let’s be honest it’s a lot of work. Because at the moment there are 7 English instructional DVDs and the demand is getting higher, I thought it was a good point in time to make them available for download now.


The downloads are high quality captures of the original DVDs.
Meaning all the chapters are in the downloads, including the intros, extras, slideshows etc. You won’t miss a thing. Because we don’t need to send the physical media we could cut the costs down and there are of course no shipping costs making it possible for everyone worldwide to get the instructional DVDs. The downloads clock in at around 1-1.5GB per download so make sure you have a good internet connection.

Winner NIK competition

/8 Comments/in , /by

For the last 2 months we have been running a NIK competition on Google+ and today I’m proud to announce the winning image.
It’s always incredibly difficult to do a judging when there is so much good material and this time there was a load of great content, because there were some stunning images it was extra difficult to not go just for the perfect lighting or model shot.

I asked the photographers to send in different images, meaning from most we got 2-3 images this way it was also possible to see the quality of their work in their submissions (not just a lucky shot), and where I also looked for was something that was not “easy” to do. For me that meant that almost all studio/posed etc. work would be very difficult to win, I wanted something that struck me in my core as a human being and photographer.

When I saw the images I got from Aldwin Cusi this happened and I asked him to do a guestblog on my blog about his work. Everything just clicked with his images and seeing the responses from the readers of this blog and the visitors to the online album I was not the only one that liked it. In the end I went for this image.

Congratulations Aldwin.
