One of the best tips ever
And also one of the most simple ones
And the moment I tell you, you probably go like "yes of course..... but I sometimes forget indeed"
Today I'm sharing one of the best tips, and it's mostly about keeping your customers, or getting more.

WOW that’s just awesome photography!
It happens if you look for it
As you know I love to play with light, and although I love to use plugins for film looks and sometimes enhance a lens flare here and there, my intent is to always get it right in camera.
By they way if you want some of the best tinting and special effects software make sure to check out BorisFX, it's the best I've ever worked with.
Anyway today I want to share this image from Claudia

You did not expect that did you….
Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't
But you should always try it.
Shoot from different angles, but also during warm ups, and always treat the shots as if they are real shots.
In most cases these images are great for behind the scenes fun, memories etc. but sometimes you end up with something really special.

Day of the dance, photographing motion
In my work I love motion
For me adding some motion to a photo always adds so much more than just that motion. Somehow you just keep looking at the image.
To freeze motion with strobes you have to make sure you use strobes with a fast flash duration. For most situations a flash-duration of 1/2000 is enough for a proper "freezing the action shot". Of course you can also play with this technique. For example use a fast strobe on the face of the model but use a very slow strobe as accent to get some nice blurs in the highlights.

The awesome low light setup for glamour
Today part II in my favorite glamour lighting setups
In the previous article we talked about a more flat light setup, today we are going the opposite direction. As mentioned my favorite photographers were often working with high contrast and low key setups. So today I want to share one of the most awesome setups for glamour in my opinion. And you don't need a lot.

The lighting setup for awesome glamour
I love vintage glamour and pinups
Starting with George Hurrell, Avedon, Newton to David Lachapelle.
And when you also want some insights into one of the best models in this genre pinup/burlesque make sure to check out Dita Von Teese who wrote a great book about both being the model, style and makeup.
In the next two articles I'm going to show you two of my absolute favorite setups, but on both sides of the spectrum.
Today I'm showing the always awesome high contrast/flat lighting setup.

The power of the expression
We probably all know that proper lighting and styling is essential for a successful photo, but for me personally it's the start.
During the photoshoot I try to think about the proper posing of the body, the hands, the shadows, the background etc. In other words a lot of stuff going on. This also means that we often forget to think about expression.

Black and white or color or let’s do both
Some things I never do
We all have said something like this when it comes to our work.
One of the things I hardly use myself is selective coloring, and yeah sometimes it looks great but somehow in my work it's always a matter of keeping all colors and even enhancing them, or convert it into black and white. But sometimes...
