Using a light source in many ways, the Elinchrom 1.90 octa.

/12 Comments/in , /by

Some light sources can be used in many different ways, I’m an Elinchrom shooter and the two light sources I love most are the Deep Octa and the 1.90 Octa. With the Deep Octa it’s very clear you can use it in many different ways due to the way it has been build/designed by Elinchrom. You can remove the front material, the center diffuser, use deflectors etc. etc. however with the 1.90 octa there is often some more confusion and a lot of people think it can only be used to mimic window light, they are wrong….

Fashion shoot with Rianne

/10 Comments/in /by

On Wednesday it was time again for a live stream from our studio.
During some photoshoots we use a webcam in the studio and stream the whole day for the viewers who are interested to see what we do during a photoshoot. Rianne was our model for this day and she needed a new portfolio so that meant a lot of different looks in a short period of time, a perfect day to stream.

Our team :
Photography : me
Assistants/Video : Wendy Appelman / Dilani
MUA : Linda (Beautyfx)

Testsession and introduction new model LT.

/7 Comments/in /by

As you might have read on Twitter, we’re looking for new models for the workshops.
Every once in a while it’s time to refresh the models of course and at the moment we’re in the middle of the testshoots. In these testshoots the models are in the studio for approximately 1-2 hours and in the testsession I try to build a portfolio for them, but most of all of course test them for the workshops. The models I use for the workshops have to have certain qualities which go further than just being pretty.

Yesterday it was time for LT, and yes that’s really her name (it was the first thing I asked).
LT will be doing some of the fashion workshops for me and I’m already in love with her looks, very classic and a great sense of humor.

/5 Comments/in /by

We are just back from the Professional Imaging 2011.
3 Days of trade show, seminars, workshops and networking.
For me the Professional imaging is always something I look forward to but also three days of very intense work, I almost constantly demo on the booth from Fotoflits (Elinchrom) and have meetings with people that follow my work.

Here you can see the video from day 3 (the last day)
