You might wonder who……….

As you might have noticed it’s getting very busy over here at StudioFD and that means I have to let some assignments go which I would normally would love to do, so we decided it was time for some help………..

Phase One news….

Ok, now this is something worth sharing 😀
Today Phase One introduced a completely new digital back, and what a beauty it is.
I know I’m a big advocate for the Leaf digital backs, and I hope Leaf will also release something similar in the 33MP range (80 is a bit overkill for me) but till that time you can see what the future of Medium Format looks like (well actually the future is now).

Some random news parts….

We just finished a workshop with Susanne, hopefully I will post some images from that one this weekend, it was the first workshop were we worked with the Canon strobes outside in combination with the Elinchrom Quadra. Normally I don’t use the blog for news fact but that will change from now on. So here we go :

For people with a Kelbytraining subscription there are now in total 4 videos online, if you don’t have a subscription also surf to www.kelbytraining.com because you see the first segment of all videos for free……. I’m sure you will be hooked after that however. It’s the best place to learn from some of the best teachers in the world.
You can now find the videos : Fashion on location, Freezing action, Why fake it when you can create it (studio) and Photoshop with an interview I had with Larry (which is free to watch. In total we shot 5 videos so there is one more to come… 😀

Very special workshop 2011

Manna

In the weekend of 20-23 May I will be teaching at a very special location.
Right in the middle of the Ijsselmeer.
The location for this special photography weekend will be the largest two mast klipper in the Netherlands called the “Manna”, it was build in 1897 and has been fully restored and sailing since 1992. This is a perfect and very beautiful location for a great weekend of photography.

Although we call it a photography weekend in essence it’s a sort of workshop, free time.
On board there will be enough gear to keep the people shooting all through the day.
We will have app 4 models and a MUA.
Food will be provided by us of course, but feel free to bring stuff for the BBQ which will be a vital part of the “free time” periods.

What to expect ?
We will be sailing most of the time, during the day there is time for shoots in several groups, I will be also shooting but also assisting in the different groups and of course teaching in small segments. During the evenings there is time for some relax time and talking about everything (also photography related), one of the evenings I will also do a portfolio review, so bring your portfolio.

There will also be some attention to retouching, so in this weekend I will try to go from planning to end result.
There is only room for 12 photographers so be sure to book your place as soon as possible.
The costs for the whole weekend will be 699.00 Euros (including food).
