Some random shots from Lisanne

/3 Comments/in /by

Sometimes we try something new in the studio.
Most of the times this is the start of something that I will try to work out in the future, in this case I wanted to create some “impossible” light setups. For this setup I shot the scene first without the model and later added the model(s) and the lights and blended those together to the end result. For this setup I used really flat lights, in the future this will be changed to more contrast lights.

During the day we also did some video to test out the new Sapphire Edge plugins for Final Cut Pro X for which I’m part of their beta program. The plugins are great and open up a lot of creativity. So during the day I also went outside with Lisanne to do some natural light shots and did some video to test out Final Cut Pro X before starting to use it on an assignment later this month (a new videoclip).

Dagmar and Vincent arty nudes

/8 Comments/in /by

I get a lot of mails about photoshoots and ideas that people want to work out with me.
I love fashion stuff and if it’s really a good idea or the clothing is stunning I will often be willing to do photoshoots that benefit my own portfolio on TFP basis. Sometimes however I also get questions about nude images and although I’m not against nudes I often refuse the shoots because the ideas are not fitting for what I find acceptable (one could say I’m really picky when it comes to nudes), of course I do the occasional glamour but actually I never did a male/female photoshoot with nudes.

However when Dagmar and Vincent asked me I did not have to think long (although I have to admit I did not say yes right away), both have already modeled for me before and I loved working with them and both have great bodies so this could actually work out. Because I hardly use nudes in my portfolio my “demand” was that we also did some more clothed shots, in this blog post you can some of the results we selected from this series. Do remember that the images can be considered NSFW in some countries. Although you don’t see anything and the images are not “erotic” I still do warn, so click here if you want to see them.

Regular readers will know Wendy Appelman of course.
For people just joining the blog, Wendy is my assistant and works with me within studioFD, she is responsible for organizing stuff, some retouching and she does a huge part of the model for a day program, and of course she helps out with the photoshoots we do. Recently we did a videoclip shoot for a Dutch rap artist Farell/Yung C. I already blogged about this, but today you can see it from a different angle when Wendy takes the blog over for a day 🙂

Creativity and much more …. Part IV

Models with input are the best.
They will push you into directions that you maybe never thought about, same goes for MUA’s, Stylists etc. of course. But also listen to your friends, interns, assistants etc. ideas can be everywhere if you are open for it.
