Cinematograaf, Videograaf, Videomaker, Gear review
I got approached by this lovely couple to shoot their wedding, which really was nice to do. Even though I’m not the regular wedding photographer, Ellen did approach me because she likes the usual photography I deliver for Fashionchick (as she’s the founder of Fashionchick). In the end they had a beautiful day and I’m honored to be the person who has captured that day for them.
“Most beautiful view …for real”
Having drinks with such a view was definitely on our bucket list for New York. And I can say for real that it’s quite something to just sit there …I mean for me it kinda worked inspiring in a way so as I was enjoying my drink I thought of new photography projects. In the end we couldn’t wait to walk beneath those beautiful skyscrapers again so we quickly took the metro back to Manhattan.
So definitely a place to go back to when I’ll visit New York again!
A selection of the results from my latest photo shoot with Jill can be found at the portf0li0 section.
“Those moments before a shoot”
What location shall I use for the shoot? What’s the theme? Where to get inspired? ….the questions I normally ask myself before doing a shoot.
So what I do next is going through some magazines, do some drawing and brainstorm with my partner. To get an idea and visual making a moodboard really helps …it also comes in handy for presenting my idea to the model and client. Eventually it’s about getting the right photos so sharing my ideas and hear what others have to say makes it possible to get those shots.
I’m always excited to do a shoot …filled with positive energy, so I really like the prep_time!
“How should I pose? …I don’t know..”
Fashionchick assigned me to shoot their portraits for the new corporate website, this time in a studio setting at their headquarters. It was again a nice experience …it always is with them. The only difference this time was that instead of shooting only one or two persons I now had to shoot like 25 people on a white background. It was fun getting everyone comfortable in front of the lens, which was quite a challenge sometimes …luckily my friend, also founder of Fashionchick, Ellen had some interesting dance moves that got people to laugh a lot!
