I shot this one a long time ago, somewhere back in 2014, and I’m glad to post it now. It’s still one of my favorite sensual shots, I’m glad the model didn’t mind the uncomfortable position for a while, while I was looking for the right angle.

This image was shot some time ago. It only had one large 1,5m softbox with a white background. In postprocessing I raised the black level a bit to give it a softer feeling.

annemiek, bw, hat

It’s always nice to do some experimentation at the end of a shoot (if it’s not already an entire evening of experimentation).

This photo was taken with a flash very nearby Annemiek’s hat (too close in hindsight, further away would mean sharper shadows on her face probably). There’s another flash slightly giving light at the right side of the camera.

After that it was a matter of correcting the light balance here and there in Photoshop, and adding some contrast, plus a bit of clarity on the side. I love the end result.

It’s just that there’s hardly any place anymore for the logo. 😉

bokeh, bw, cathelijne, sharon

A duoshoot yesterday with two lovely girls, Cathelijne and Sharon. We didn’t have that much time but shot a couple of series. This one is a variation on Annemiek and Else from a few days ago. We actually shot this image in two forms, switching the girls. Perhaps to make it into a single photograph.

More from Annemiek, this time with some added contrast to make the lipstick pop a bit more. Hope you like it!

Sail

dusk, outdoor

Here is a shot of a type that I don’t often post; this was taken during Sail 2015 in Amsterdam. It was late in the evening, and there was a beautiful half-clouded sky. Lots of boats were boating on the IJ that evening.

I took this picture and raised the white balance quite a bit in postprocessing (in Lightroom) to get a more overall yellowish look. Other than that, nothing much was changed.

The photo was entered into a competition of Sail photos (sailinbeeld.nl) and ended up as one of the final 9 photographs. It will be on display somewhere soon for some time at Delta Lloyd.

Another one from the shoot with Annemiek and Else, this time Annemiek in solo, wearing a hat and a dress that accentuates her figure.

annemiek, bokeh, bw, else

This is a picture taken of Annemiek and Else, two sisters.

I used a Sigma 85mm f/1.4 lens for this on f/2.2, 1/2500s using Yongnuo YN-622C triggers (which deal with HSS or high-speed sync). A single large softbox lights the scene.
