My blog, although I don’t see myself as a blogger but as a Photographer I will try to blog some interesting material during the weeks.
Expect at least 2 updates a week.

Backup the easy way

/in , /by

Everyones nightmare is data loss.

With digital data, this almost always mean your work is gone, or when you can get it back it’s a dreadful task to rename everything and find out what’s what.

So the best way is to prevent it ever happens.
And the biggest problem is that people often always think making the backup tomorrow is also ok, but tomorrow is never today, so often backups are never really created the right way especially when on location/vacation.

So the workflow has to be as easy as possible, and that’s why I made this video about the Transcend drive, via a simple button push it will automatically start making an incremental backup, it’s easy as 1,2 done… Make sure you don’t experience data loss, make your workflow as easy as possible.

 

Creative photography with Rogue full tutorial

/in , , /by

As a photographer we want to be flexible and not limited by the gear we use (to a certain degree).

When I started working the flashbender from Rogue is was over the moon with the creative possibilities and over the years they kept refining the products and making them even more flexible.

This year (2022) Rogue released their magnetic system for round strobes and speedlights and in combination with the flashbender this is a real creative powerhouse.

In this video I take you through several of my favourite setups, I show you the setups, the shoot, the raw files and the final results plus all the techniques.

How to pose hands

/in , , /by

I think that one of the questions a lot of people struggle with (including me) is “how do you pose hands?”

Let’s be honest we all have them, and normally they are incredibly handy (pun intended) but in a photo…. well that’s where the problems often arise, what do you do with them, what do you show, or accept not to be shown, do you want them to draw attention, or not…

In todays video I dive into the topic “posing hands” and share some of my tips.
Do remember that we film these videos in one take including the images, so don’t expect stellar results, it’s just to share some ideas and hopefully help you guys.

Do you have any questions, feel free to ask them.
This video was actually created because someone on Patreon asked about it. And that’s the cool thing about our Patreon, I don’t only share behind the scenes images and videos there, but we also do a monthly portfolio review and questions are often answered within 24 hours (often even faster) plus the members help each other out too. Sounds cool?

Introducing the Rogue magnetic system

/in , , , /by

Sometimes we get products that are just nice and a cool addition to the rest.
But sometimes…. well they really change the way you (can) work.
And today the video in which I introduce a system like this.

The Rogue magnetic system for round flashes and speedlights.
An after the flashbender Rogue released another product that is clearly designed with the photographer in mind. Which for me means, portable/light, easy to work with and most of all not limiting the creativity of the user.

So let’s go.
