Nirmala with some “different” lighting

During the glamour workshops it’s always a question what I will do.
Together with the Advanced workshops these are the workshops were I love to experiment, freak and sometimes do things I never did before. Add to this a great model like Nirmala and you know it’s “party” time….. In this blog post some of the images and some of the techniques discussed.

Creativity and much more…. Part I

Photography is an art form.
To create art we need….. inspiration, vision etc.
When you start out as a photographer you will all know the problem.
You find a model that is willing to pose for you but she shows up with the standard jeans and shirts that she wears in every day life….. in the end you can make some images but it’s not what you really want is it ? In the coming days/weeks I will add posts with this topic with stories, tips etc.

Email and new Social media like Google+

Well ok this seems to have nothing to do with Photography but in fact it does.
How often did you send out an E-mail and got no response ?
Well I guess many times…..
Same here.

So we decided to take a look at why, and how to solve this and found some rather disturbing facts.

The new inside look magazine (for free)

Within our studio there are several people active, but also always (well almost always) one intern.
This intern is always from some form of Photography school and will be working with our team for the period of at least 20-30 weeks. The interns have many assignments ranging from setting up the lights, taking care of our students, doing logistic work for our location workshops or shipping out DVDs, and much much more.

One of the most fun assignments is the making of a magazine.
In this assignment they can let loose all their creativity.
There are no rules.
Every magazine has to look a bit like the previous one, but if they want a totally different look that’s also ok as long as it looks great. Within the magazine there are some guidelines of course…. there have to be interviews with models, makeup artists, some of our sponsors and a selection of images and interesting blog articles. The interns will have the whole period to complete this magazine (and most will need this).

The last few months Dilani has been my intern and the release you can find in this blog post is her magazine.
Do remember that the magazines are essential just for fun, they are not meant to compete with something commercials, they are not meant as a “look what we can do” piece, but they are the “end” assignment for our interns. However we do think the magazines are fun to share with you guys, so please read it as that and enjoy it.
