I like the lightness of this shot. Granted, this is one of the very few times where I have use negative vignette (meaning the edge have become brighter than the original) to make it even lighter.

Some might do their best to get rid of the heating pipes in the background, but I kind of like the natural look.

This is a shot I like from a recent shoot. The bokeh of the lens keeps the background a little softer (this was shot with a Sigma ART f/1.8 lens on a Canon 6D). For these types of shots I always prefer converting to black & white (I actually often like black & white better) since it becomes more timeless and the colors are not as distracting from the shape.

A Happy New Year to you all!

Here is a shot from last weekend at this girl’s home. I find it always nice & challenging to do shoots in such a confined space. It offers nice opportunities to create some shots that you would never make in a more sterile studio environment.

Lighting is an issue at these locations, but my Canon 6D still works admirably. And fortunately I like a bit of noise in my images.

I revisited my shoot last May this year with Fabiola at her home. I liked this one very much, so made it into black & white. It has a bit of a melancholic feel about it which I tend to like.

My second post today, to catch up on things. I’ve been inspired to do some more shooting. Here are four shots of Melissa, a French girl living in the Netherlands. We met at her home, where I used a few new LED continuous lights to tweak lighting just a bit. Other than that most of it is natural light.

Here is an image I shot at the end of last summer. Today marked the ending of winter here in the Netherlands, where the sun was as nice to the skin today as it was back in autumn last year.

After some reading in the sun in the garden things got pretty chilly, so a nice excuse to go through some images and put one up here.

Although global warming isn’t a good thing, it’s nice to see the sun again; perhaps it will be as good a summer as it was last year.

Last weekend I had another shoot with Maaike, which happens about once a year. We shot at her home, with beautiful soft light from the windows, but also in the woods with some autumnly looks.

This shot was all natural light. I’m beginning to appreciate this type of light; its softness is unparalleled compared to flash. It’s also much easier to play around with various shots while not having to move around your lights. It’s relaxing, or perhaps that’s also Maaike, who is wonderful. I hope you enjoy the image.

One more of Xenia, inside her home. She’s a girl you can just put there and she’ll look beautiful. So let’s post away. 😉
