Thursday night I was a guest on the “European Photo Show”, it’s a starting show via Google+.
Check out the episode here, and show these guys your support 😀
Here you can find the webinars and instructional videos I posted on the blog.
Webinar Topaz plus discount
A bit early for the blogpost but I did not want to let you wait till tomorrow.
In this blogpost you can see the webinar I did for Topaz (feel free to leave a comment on YouTube) with loads of tips plus a demo of the bundle from Topaz (and Clarity of course), the reason I post this so quickly is the following :
I Just got a notice that our friends from Topaz are running a deal till Sunday with $100.00 off on their bundle. Use the code july4 on http://www.topazlabs.com/716.html to get the discount. The bundle is great of course, but also check out clarity, it’s the one plugin that totally took me by surprise and is now part of my workflow 🙂
The DOORhof is always open EP10
Today sees the release of the new episode from “The DOORhof is always open”, already episode 10…. time flies.
This time you will see interviews with John Denton and Adam Duckworth, a BTS video from the SWPP and a long behind the scenes video shot during a photoshoot we did for Whair hairdressers loaded with information about the shoot.
This episode is of course also available on our YouTube channel and iTunes, please spread the link to the video.
New instructional video
After the very successful “Live in Boston” video it took a long time for you guys to get a new instructional video, the reason for this is very simple. I only release something if we think it’s a real addition to our program, and this release sure is. We’re very excited about this one. It’s not only the longest we ever released, but it’s also the first in HD, the first with an extended piece on Photoshop and Lightroom and it’s so full with tips and tricks it will probably almost overdose some viewers 🙂
So I’m very proud to introduce to you our new instructional video :
