New video for Expoimaging

First of all a big happy birthday to our son Brian who celebrates his 13th birthday today 🙂

 

Now for todays blog post I can share a video we shot last week for some new flashbender products from Rogue/Expoimaging. The video contains two new products that I will be using with the small flash setups, and I can highly recommend them to you. Of course I also added some small tips during the video in the photoshoot. Enjoy and feel free to share.

TwiT photo competition

Now this is something that I really want to draw your attention to, and not just because I’m in the jury 🙂

Backstage during seminar in Enschede

Wednesday night I taught a seminar for “foton” in Enschede.
Normally I don’t post images online from seminars, but Evita (our intern) made some really nice images from this one so I could not resist. So here you go, some images from the seminar with many thanks to Evita 🙂

Some new workshop dates

Today some new workshop and seminar dates.
For a complete overview visit http://www.photography-workshops.eu 

 

1. Wednesday October 26th (tonight)
I will be teaching a seminar in Enschede the Netherlands.
The theme will be : how to improve your images right in the camera.
The seminar is loaded with tips and tricks on how to create better images with often just small adjustments, it will start with street and travel photography and build up to model photography.

The seminar is held at :
Universiteit Twente
Vergaderzaal 5 van de Vrijhof (gebouwnr. 47)
20:00-22:00

2. Photoshop World 2012 Washington DC
Photoshop World is something I always look forward to, but this time it’s even more special because I will also be teaching my first Pre-Con workshop (limited to 40 students). In this workshop I will start off with the theory behind “understanding, manipulating and measuring light” and after this and a short Q&A we will start a session with a fashion model in which I will show simple light setups that will change the way you look at light on location.
Make sure to register in time, I think it will be filled up really quick.

 

During Photoshop World I will be teaching 3 brand new seminars.
On the Expo Floor I will be teaching a seminar on improving your images ranging from travel/street photography to model photography.
During the PSW seminars I will be doing live shoots with a model and explain light setups, share tips and tricks and show some quick Photoshop edits. One seminar will be aimed at small flash and one on big flash, these two live shoots/seminars will be aimed at both the beginner as advanced shooter and are loaded with things you probably never thought of with your light setups….. On PSW I always go all out so don’t miss it.

Shot during the last Boston workshop

3. Boston USA
Right after Photoshop World we will jump in a car and do a small road trip to Boston to stay with our friend Brendan from symbol photography  he already hosted the hugely successful workshops in September of 2011 and he will again be hosting a full day workshop right after Photoshop world. In this workshop a small group of students (limited to 12) will shoot in the studio and (if possible) on location and learn all the tips and tricks I combine in the several workshops I teach in the Netherlands. Lots of attention will be given to manipulating light sources to make something spectacular from something simple, measuring and understanding the light meter and of course how to coach the model and find the right poses and angles.
