Today it’s Halloween, and that means story time

During the workshops I always try to do something different, and Halloween is of course an awesome excuse to go all out and Felissa is always in for some fun.

Today we are doing things slightly different.
In the first blogpost today I share the video we made for this workshop, and later today I’ll share the images separately so you can see them in all their gory glory LD

But first the video, I hope you enjoy it as much as we loved creating it.
All credits for the edits are for Julia our Intern who really did her best to create something unique.

It’s almost Halloween

It’s almost time for the most scary time of the year: Halloween

I LOVE Halloween, not only as a horror fan but also as a photographer.
There is so much fun you can have with the theme and I can already tell you that for tomorrow we have something really special planned on both the blog and our YouTube channel, and trust me you don’t want to miss this.

Almost Halloween shoot with Claudia

But today I share the results from the workshop I did with Claudia at Foto de Vakman in Uden.
And as you can see… Claudia was already in the mood for Halloween….

These were shot during a 3-hour in-store demo with our awesome Clicki system and Geekoto strobes.
For these images, I’m using the Rogue Frank Doorhof Flashbender as main light and the Rogue magnetic system with a blue gel for special effects.

The first backdrop is the Clicki Conkers

It's almost Halloween It's almost Halloween

For the next set, I’m using the Geekoto Lantern and a red gel as an accent light.

These images were shot during a short in store workshop.
Check our website for more dates of workshops.  Most workshops are in Dutch, but if you let us know a few weeks in advance we can switch the workshop to English.

Online Workshop

Are you unable to attend a workshop? We do offer online workshops. You let us know what you want to learn and we’ll arrange a model. We set up multiple cameras in our studio to do a special live shoot, just for you. You join us on YouTube and Skype. After the shoot, you’ll get to retouch the images. See this webpage about the online workshops 

Also, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for a lot of free learning about photography like the Digital Classroom, a monthly free online themed photoshoot from our studio.

The new Clicki 2×2 Square

We are always releasing new backgrounds in the ClickBackdrops line-up.
A very popular system is the Clicki. With the Clicki you can easily shoot great photos on location.
For portraits, the Clicki works like a charm. But sometimes you need a little bit more space. So we also now have the Clicki available in a large 2×2 meters,  making it a great option to build a small set for newborns or pets where you use the Clicki both as a background and floor, as you can see in the following samples. This only works with small pets and products.

The Clicki 2×2 Square background

Today in the blog some images I shot with Chewie our Black Labradoodle.
Using the Geekoto GT400 and Geekoto Lantern softbox as the main light and the Geekoto Quicky as the accent light.

 

The new Clicki 2x2 Square The new Clicki 2x2 Square, we used it also as a floor

As you can see a great way to use the new Clicki.
And if you don’t need the floor you can of course use the Clicki as a 2×2 meter backdrop :D.

We will be shooting some more images soon.

So if you need more interesting backgrounds or small sets on location, check out our Clicki system, You’ll love it!
By the way, if you need another print than the ones we offer don’t worry, Clicki (and all other backgrounds) can be printed on almost all materials and sizes.

You can find all our backdrops in our Frank Doorhof shop. If you have any questions, let us know.
