A new model and this is the first shoot

/0 Comments/in /by

We are always looking for new models

And believe it or not… it’s getting harder and harder.
But today I can introduce Ysanne, a new model. She will be helping us out with workshops and live streams.
So you will see much more soon, but today the results from her test shoot.

I take a few images in the test shoot, and mostly just talk with the model about the workshops, how we work, etc.
So mostly the test shoots are some standard setups, but a great way to introduce a new model.

So here are the results from Ysanne’s test shoot.

See fotografie-workshops.nl for the workshops.
In my workshops, we don’t focus on just getting photos from a model, but I try to give an in-depth look at the lighting setups, the styling, the angles (and why), storytelling and so much more. And this often means much better images and a proper understanding of light/posing etc. than in a so-called “shooting zoo”.

Most workshops are in Dutch, but if you let us know a few weeks in advance we can always change the workshops to English.
Or book a 1:1 online workshop of course.

Using a data projector for some really cool lighting effects

Projectors are great for presentations and movies

But did you ever think about using a projector as your main lightsource?
Think about all the options you have when you can literally paint all your lights, sharp or soft edges, all colors you like or maybe even a whole photo. When using a projector as your main lightsource you will never run out of ideas.

Today in the blog I show you how I used our projector during a workshop for some creative lighting effects.

The Geekoto Lantern in action

Some light sources are special

The moment you see the Geekoto Lantern you know exactly what you’re going to get.
A beautiful soft light from the front of the softbox, but also a lot of light emitted from the sides.
This makes the lantern the perfect softbox for new born, product and fashion photography when you need a lot of light but don’t want the light too harsh and the edge transfers on the set. The lantern does exactly this.

In this behind the scenes video I use it for a full body quick to setup fashion shoot.

 

Using the optical snoot for a great window effect

Gobo projectors are great for special effects

I love using the Lindsay Adler optical snoot from Westcott as my main lightsource as you have seen many times, but it’s also great for the more subtle effects.
Today in the blog I take you behind the scenes during a workshop where I use the optical snoot for a very subtle but great effect on our model/set.
