As I was finishing up on my last wedding album of 2010 I came across a series of images with a story to them that I wanted to share. And since the full wedding posts will probably only show up on the blog next month, I thought: lets do a quickie!
It’s always easier with natural [...]
Ik was net geland in Rome toen ik telefoon kreeg van Marleen, Marleen klonk zooooo superenthousiast dat je eigenlijk op dat moment al weet: dit wordt een knaller. Nog gelukkiger was ze toen ik vertelde nog vrij te zijn op 19 juni. De eerste echte kennismaking kwam er niet veel later en kon ook wel [...]
Life used to start at 50mm, 35mm is a revelation. More to come.
This year I’ve been tuning my gear in function of my style. More specifically, my lens arsenal. But I haven’t reached the end of the tunnel yet. I want to be able to take just what I need and leave out the lenses that don’t see enough “action”. Damn, not an easy task!
The [...]
I needed a way to proof albums to my couples this year so they can give feedback on their album before it gets printed. Yes, there are products on the market that do that but they never did it the way that I wanted. But I also figured I’m not the only photographer that could [...]
Last 2 weeks I’ve shot my last weddings of the season. And boy the weather gods didn’t go easy on me there. It was time to dust off that softbox and umbrella! Funny how I actually started photography with my first strobist steps, learned to love and switch to natural light , and [...]
It seems that @wenti found her creative outlet and to celebrate the unveiling of her new product line I got to turn the house upside down for some funky looking product shots. But of course it’s the mutskes that steal the show.
May I present to you : “pinnemuts”, “bloem”, “pompon” & “bij”.
More pictures & hats [...]
This week I had a very fun evening session assisting Sofie on her salsa-school shoot. Who would have thought I’d ever set foot in a dance school …. Salsa is about rhythm, I knew the shot I wanted to make but I ran into a bit of a wall when I wanted to combine the [...]
Blurb, the popular bookmaking software and printing service finally released version 2.0 of their software. It now lets you design (save & re-use) your custom page templates. They also added a new 30×30 (cm) square format.
Some simple things are still missing, like the option to let you enter the preferred aspect ratio (or [...]
Eerlijk, ik ben geen grote fan van het gegeven “communie” en ook niet van de zeemzoete “communiekaartjes”.
Maar toen collega Caroline me vroeg voor haar oudste zoon Xavier eens voor de lens te nemen wilde ik die uitdaging wel aangaan.
Steven aka Gekiekt, pakt het communiegebeuren aan met een eigen visie, je blijft er zijn stijl inzien. [...]
After a couple of nights of hard work I’m very happy I can finally launch my new site!
It has been revamped to fit the blog with the purpose of being able to update the galleries better.
And without further ado….
There is a ton of new material in the galleries, those pictures will receive the obligatory technical [...]
The problem
On location work is fun, you always need to improvise. On location studio work is a tad more difficult, you need space to work. In this instance I was at my step-sister-in-law’s place, a place I know. We wanted to make some portraits against a black backdrop. so we had to move some furniture [...]
At the time of publishing I’m attending the LIME workshop “Capturing Romance” by Pieter Van Impe.
My expectations from this workshop are to be able to go out with a couple , (re-)ignite their love and capture that on photo, in ways I didn’t think of before. Learning (lots of) new tricks.
As a photographer, photographing couples [...]
As one of my new year’s resolutions I want to use more available light in my pictures. Because I live in a country that isn’t always known for it’s best light (understatement) I thought it could use a little help and bought a California Sunbounce Mini. (thank you jobkorting)
These sunbounce systems have been tried, reviewed, [...]
