Add those two together and you already have the value of the total package 😀
So head on over to the page and order your 5daydeal today and start learning for.. well at least another year (yep it’s that jam-packed).

Geekoto softboxes compared: results from the Digital Classroom with Jannaika

Geekoto Softboxes

In today’s blog the results from the Digital classroom episode with Jannaike in which I explained the differences between Geekoto softboxes.

Remember that these were shot during a live broadcast with loads of ambient light so it’s a bit harder to set the light perfectly.
But I’m very happy with the results.

If you missed the episode, here it is in full.

Living in the US? and interested in Geekoto? check this Frank Doorhof Geekoto link

Read this post about our first shoot with Janaika

In the Previous Digital Classroom, we shot Claudia with a Harley Davidson

Sometimes 15 minutes is enough for a commercial photoshoot. Because our Geekoto flashes have a pistol grip, Annewiek can hold them easily (this is with the S26, if we should do it again, we probably take the even smaller Quicky20)

The difference between modifiers

Want to know how to predict your light?

And of course how to use the different modifiers to create some images with impact?
Than this is the digital classroom for you.

In almost 2 hours I show you the difference between a lantern, normal softbox, striplights and our new Geekoto Quicky softbox.

You see the setups from 3 different angles, plus all the images I shoot.
And of course there is a boatload with information in there as usual.

So enjoy the brand new Digital Classroom.

How to make wow images with sets and colors

September 3, 2024/in blog, Visions and technique, Webinars and instructional videos/by Frank Doorhof

Sets really add something

Often when I mention sets people think about big-budget solutions, but the opposite can be true, and mostly is in my work. In this article, I combine sets and colors to create WOW images.
It’s almost a sport to create cool-looking sets without breaking the bank.
So we also look for cool stuff on fleamarkets, attics, etc. you would be surprised what kind of “junk” you can buy for next to nothing that works great in a photoshoot.

And sometimes you use what’s there.
In this case, a customer brought in a huge projector for me to calibrate and it was packaged in a flight case. So…. yes indeed why not use it in a photoshoot?

Today a small tutorial on how to spice up a small set with a touch of color.
