Editorial: Tea moments, Nadeche

“I’m a tea kind of girl”

Another shoot with Nadeche, this time at one of her favorite coffee stores in Amsterdam. It was a nice shoot with a few challenges, because it was quite crowded …nevertheless it went smoothly and the staff was very cooperative. The sun was most challenging that day, so I had to adjust the exposure all the time …but hey, that makes a shoot fun right!

I like working with Nadeche, so I’m looking forward to our next shoot. To see the whole shoot visit the PORTFOLIO section.

Shoot: Imitating Isabel Marant pour H&M, feat Aniek

THE VIEWFINDER H&M imitation shoot

 

If there’s one look book that I like it’s ‘Isabel Marant pour H&M look book’. So I planned on imitating this shoot for a while and I’m glad to finally have done. I picked out 4 looks that I wanted to shoot for this project.

It was a bit of a challenge, because I don’t own a large studio and high end gear which they used for this look book. Not to mention their team of specialists.

Go visit the PORTFOLIO section to see all the looks.

Special thanks to my lovely wife who modeled for this shoot.

Shoot: 70’s flared, Nadeche

THE VIEWFINDER Nadeche-shoot-1-7958

Just finished a nice first shoot with the lovely model Nadeche de Zwart …we planned on shooting together since we met more than a year ago. So finally we came together and did a 70´s shoot (on her request) on the streets in Amsterdam. We had a great time, working together went smoothly so from now on you’ll be seeing more shoots with Nadeche.

Shoot: Contrast feat. Jill

I had the pleasure of shooting with Jill again, this time for a studio shoot …the first one in my home studio. The idea was to do a contrasty shoot against a white wall for the subtle shadow to get some depth in the shots.

Go to the PORTFOLIO section to see the results.

Shoot: Laundry day, Jill

“Saturdays are for laundry …so it seems”

Had such a great time shooting Jill again, this time in the ‘early’ Saturday morning at the self-service laundry. While freezing our asses off we arrived around 10 AM (Yes, that is early for a Saturday) at the self-service laundry where the heating was on, like for real …lucky us!

After a quick look at the moodboard(posted soon) and illustrations I prepared we started the shoot. This was quite challenging because there were customers doing their laundry so we had to work around them …and it was quite busy. Even people from out of town visited this place! So while shooting we not only had to avoid them physically but also trying to keep them out of the shot.

In the end the shoot went well, had a great time and finished the morning with a nice cup of coffee while going through the photos on my camera.
