Last week Tom asked me if I wanted to come along and take some pictures of the new indoor Paintball Gent location on the day before the inauguration (you never know if this term brings an extra visitor to the blog).
Although I did take a lot of gear with me I was totally under prepared [...]
*UPDATE*, I’ve created a page here where I grouped up all related articles for your re-reading pleasure.

Recently Thomas asked me how I connect flashes to a softbox, while my solution is nothing as close to Pieter’s chimera solution it is a worthy alternative to get started.
A while ago I bought 2 24″x36″ softboxes on ebay. The package comes with a metal ring but without a solution to mount it on a [...]

Okay I’ll admit it. I’m abusing my blog to sell my 2 sigma lenses. But I am using that to share something with you as well, and it was a good excuse for me to play around with my new toys.
Business first, I’m selling my 24-70mm f2.8 EX and 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS, both lenses [...]
This post has been in the back of my head ever since my best friend asked me if I could be the wedding photographer for his sister-in-law. Now that I’ve completed my first wedding I can share my experiences from the preparation stage to the point where I can proudly hand over the finished wedding [...]
This is actually a reader inspired blogpost. A couple of days ago DieterThePhotographer asked me how I got the clarity/sharpness in Lissa’s eyes and if that reflection in her eyes was a softbox I used…
This shot was actually taken with on camera flash. The camera held in portrait mode (obviously), low enough so it was [...]
Something weird happened, after showing Emma’s slideshow, a lot of people, including the parents had the above shot as one their favourites.
But this image was actually recovered from my rejected pictures and almost found it’s way to the recycle bin.
When I browse through my pictures I pick/flag the best ones, these are also pictures that [...]
We had a little crisis situation this week where we thought we accidentally left a cat inside the (running) washing machine. When I finally managed to get the door open, the cat came looking what all the fuzz was about…
Reverse engineering has never been this easy …

I’ve done quite a couple of baby & child photography sessions so I feel I should share some tips.
I’m not going to come up with yet another “baby photography tips” list but I’m just going to share some experiences & tricks.
Before my very first session I tried to prepare myself as best as I could [...]
Newborns are always fun to shoot. Love how she curled her feet every time
I hope mom didn’t think I was nuts using a while paper roll gaffered to the hospital-bedroom wall and for using my home-made flower pot softbox… For this shot I did switch to a more professional looking 9$ shoot [...]
While we were cleaning up our gear (a beer in hand) some of the guys started dunking.
I quickly set up 2 snooted SB600’s on 1/2 power left & right. We didn’t get that many good shots, this is the only one that I like.
kudos to Nico, this is his shot. Nikon D300 with a Tokina [...]
So where did we leave off ?
Right, 22:07PM, portraits done, time for some team shots.
The A-Team finished their friendly match (I never did check if they won or lost, shame on me) and some of the guys from the B-Team needed to go home because they had exams the next day. So again , not [...]
A while ago back I did the second session for the FillesFolles girls. While we had cool locations indoor something else caught my attention outside. The garage was made of these glass square tiles and would make for a great backdrop.
The sun was out hard that day so to avoid racoon eyes I need some [...]
