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.
Today it’s exactly 17 years ago that Annewiek and I said “YES” to each other.
On 7-7-’97 it was the start of something beautiful, some people marry their girlfriend but I married my soulmate, Annewiek always travels with me and to be honest I don’t even want to travel alone 😀
So Annewiek thank you for 17 amazing years, and up to another 17 at least.
This is one of the most recent head shots I made for Annewieks social media.
On June 28th it was time for the location workshop in Dusseldorf Germany.
The location was a stunning mansion (historic “Schloss Mickeln” (1840)), add to this an amazingly creative model (Dae Joon) and some designs by our stylist Nadine and there you go…

Today some images from Chantal.
And there is something special with these shots.
At the moment I’m testing the ice light system from Westcott, Annewiek calls it “the lightsaber”.
The ice light is a very bright long light source that can be dimmed and to be honest it’s pretty interesting to play with. I’ll add a review later in the testing phase, but for today 2 images from Chantal I shot with it right after a webinar.
I love shooting film as you probably know by now.
On a recent trip I bought a Yashica TLR camera (124 mat) and have been using this a lot lately during travel, the advantage is that it’s a really “small” camera but shoots 6×6 film so you get an amazing quality, also the lens is incredibly sharp so the results are awesome so to say 🙂
All images are shot with natural light.
Now a lot of people ask me “why film, is it better than digital?”
Well let me put it this way, No it’s not better than digital, but it’s different.
And that’s the main reason I shoot film, the look is so different from digital that for me it’s another way to present my work, plus I just love the whole “magic” of developing/scanning your images and see what you got a few days after you shot it, it forces you think even more than you do with digital.
Today I show you some of the BW film I shot during the UK tour.
I did all the developing at home, after a night of drying the photos are scanned with a Reflecta MF5000 with Silverfast software. Especially the software with which you scan is incredibly important because in essence that’s your “raw developer” but it does much more, and I found Silverfast to be superior to other solutions.
