Some outside and studio shots

Last week it was finally a nice day (we have had some very “flexible” weather over here :D)
And we decided to go out with Eva our model for that day.
Close to our studio there is a nice lake where I love to shoot so we decided it would be great to do some sets there.
Many thanks for Linda from Beautyfx for the makeup.
Some images could be considered Not Safe for Work (but there is no nudity of course).

Some new images

Today a collection of some of my favorite shots from the workshops I did last week with Marie and Nirmala.
The shots with Marie are done during the small flash workshop so were all shot with the small flash strobes.
The top one with the awesome Rogue grid set by the way, make sure to get one, you will love it.
Any questions, feel free to ask.

Working with one light source……and some Rogue magic.

Friday it was time for the small flash workshop with Nadine as my model.

During the small flash workshop the main thing I teach the students is how to work with both E-TTL and full manual mode. The thing I focus up at the start of the workshop is that E-TTL can be easily “fooled” or in other words is not perfect. By explaining this and also explaining how to solve it (and throwing in manual mode with a light-meter) the students are beginning to recognize the problems in a scene and most importantly learn how to counteract the problems.

The fun thing is that you will see that after the first setup most students already pick this up with the next setup.
And to be honest it’s not difficult, but you have to see it to understand it 🙂
