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 [...]
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, [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
