WorldWidePhotowalk Amsterdam

October 13th it’s time again for the Scott kelby World Wide Photowalk.
This is an event I’m always looking forward to, without any doubt a fun day with loads of photography tips flying around and of course a lot of networking and new friends, but most of all an opportunity to test out new cameras (it was my first experience with the X100 for example) and to get some amazing shots.

Last year I hosted the walk in Kampen and this year I decided to host a walk in our capital and great city for photowalks Amsterdam. Without any doubt a city that will give you a tremendous amount of options. The official Photowalk will start at 11:00AM and will take 2 hours. But…. after the official part I will be there for the rest of the day and more than willing to go on with a smaller (or the same) group. Maybe throw in some models/strobes etc 😀

 

 

There is only room for 50 walkers (oh my why do I think about the walking dead now???) so be quick and join me and 50 other photographers on October 13th.

Nadine vs the Mannequin

Some time ago I mentioned on the blog that I had been shopping for a new model, well today you’re gonna meet Him/It. In our studio we have called him “Henkie” and today it’s the first time he is shared with you the readers…. well ok now let’s get serious.

During the advanced workshops it’s always a challenge for me to come up with something that is different from what you will find in other workshops, this often means that I will think more themed wise or add a lot of motion, dance, movement, jumps to the shots, but sometimes I will go one step further, as I did with this workshop with Nadine. Nadine is without a doubt the model with the most extreme styling and ideas I know, working with her we always call a “party” because it’s fun and full of surprises. When I told Nadine about our “new model” she was immediately full of ideas, and we decided to use one of the ideas for this workshop, and yes if you read it correctly there are more ideas… 🙂

Competition winners

When the guys from CameraNu.nl asked me to be the judge for their fotowedstrijd.nl competition I did not have to wait long with my answer. I love the store and a lot of my gear is delivered by them, I’ve know the owner like forever (he brought me my first 10D in person at my house). In the last few years their company has grown into a “monster” camera store with good reputation on service and knowledge, but enough of the promotion…. In this blogpost I’ll show you the winners (and one runner up) and will give you my motivation in what I look for in a winning shot.
