Frank Doorhof

Often people ask me “Frank, how do I create a shot with more impact?”
My answer is often incredibly simple “Shoot something with impact”

Sound obvious right?
Well it actually is to be honest, it’s an answer that is used so many times by the great photographers in the world, “if you think your images are not interesting enough, make sure you shoot something that interesting”. For model photography that means I love to work with strong colors, and my personal preference…..well red.

So today some images “with impact” shot during a session with Nadine.

Now the real fun starts when you add a little bit of motion.

Sorry for the overload on Elinchrom ELC posts, but I’ve had to keep the effects secret for a very long time and now that the strobes are officially announced I’m just very excited to show the possibilities of these strobes to you.

Today a very simple effect.
In this setup I used 2 ELC units, the first one fires at the start of the 2 second exposure, the powerful modeling lights create a “blur” effect while the model (Nadine) moves around and at the end of the exposure the second ELC fires to freeze the final pose. It takes some practice but the effects are pretty cool.

These shots were taken during the workshop “Movement and coaching” from last Friday.
