A new KelbyOne class

New KelbyOne class coming soon!

 

Tutorials can be a few things

I’ve been creating tutorials for a long time now, and to be honest, it never bores me.
Mostly because, besides explaining the theory behind the techniques, I also love to create more creative setups or use gear in ways it wasn’t really designed for.

So when KelbyOne asked me to record a new class, I immediately knew what I wanted to do.
Create a class where I use household materials to create stunning results.
The class is now online on KelbyOne, so make sure you check it out whenever you want to be inspired.

You can find the class here :

KelbyOne Class: using household materials to create stunning images KelbyOne Class: using household materials to create stunning images

Topics in the KelbyOne Class

The class is all about using household materials, so we dove into our attic and studio closet to see what we could use.
We ended up with scenes using rescue blankets, a torch with gels and cardboard, a room divider, and a lot more.
This is one of the most creative classes I have ever recorded, so I’m 100% sure you are going to love it.

I show you the lighting setups, the whole shoot (including all the images coming in), and of course, I explain all the techniques and ideas behind the shoot.
And to finish it off, you also get a full retouch session for several of the images.

Fun and creativity: storytelling

Photography is so much more than just capturing a beautiful model in front of a great background.
All of history, we have been storytellers, and you will find out that you will get much better results when you think more about storytelling than just capturing the light on your subject.
Storytelling can be done with colors, expression, and, of course, lighting.

In this class, I show you that you don’t need to break the bank to create cool sets or interesting looks in your photos.
So next time you are shooting a model, maybe just use a tungsten lightbulb or a torch?

Have fun 😀

This blog (with Claudia) is also about being creative with colored lights

Shots on a car junkyard

During the filming of my new KelbyOne classes one of the locations was the local car junkyard and believe it or not but this is a walking distance from our studio, you see the best locations can indeed be very close. If you want to see how to create these images make sure to check out my classes on KelbyOne.

Fashion in Amsterdam

Everyone loves Amsterdam, right?
Well it’s indeed a very interesting and cool place for photography, so when the guys from KelbyOne visited to shoot some of new classes one of the locations HAD to be Amsterdam. Today some of the results we got from that segment from my class on shooting fashion on location, part was done with small flash and part with the Elinchrom Quadra series.

Fashion on location at the old harbor of Schokland

Today on my blog some images from my KelbyOne class on fashion on location in which I explain a lot of techniques you can use while shooting in different locations. Some of the locations were a Car Junkyard, Amsterdam and the images I’m gonna show today which were shot in the old harbor of Schokland. So if you want to know more about the techniques to create these and plenty more tips check out my classes on KelbyOne.

 

This is without a doubt one of my favorite places and it’s right in the middle of one of my bike routes.
Believe it or not but we actually live below sealevel in Emmeloord *my hometown, not 60 years ago this was all sea and these places which are now Unesco Heritage were part of small islands spread out in the area including Schokland, which is actually a little bit further out and maybe the best know town Urk. (the home town of my favorite camera store CameraNu)
