This one was created with make-up and styling artist Ayten from La Rouge Visagie. The model is Rachel Wals. There is a large softbox on the right (of the camera) and a strip light on the left. The postprocessing consisted mostly of bringing up the feather brightness a bit and increasing specularity in the hair.

There is something about images where the model does not look into the camera. I tend to like it. This one was taken using a wind machine. This is Ella, and her look straight at the camera is as forceful as is her looking away, like here. I still like the variation, with the subtle blue gel highlighting the back of her head.

Another one of Ella. Admittedly the red hair was slightly enhanced.
This image was shot with a lens I just obtained; the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART. Love its softness and its sharpness where you focus. To her right there was a 60x80cm softbox, and a small spot with a blue gel lights up the background, giving a bit of contrast in the colors.

This one is also not really recent, but I’m glad to be able to post it nevertheless. My studio is not that big so it’s always a bit of a hassle to get the angles and lighting right, without everything getting a bit in the way. So it’s always good to see something nice come out of it!

I shot this a couple of days ago near Xenia’s house. The background is the border of Delftse Hout. The lens was a Sigma 85/1.4 EX DG HSM at f/1.8, ISO 50.

It’s kind of silly weather today here in Holland; rain and sun that overlap every now and then. Not really cold, but not great to go outside as well. So it was a good time to go through old photographs and shoots.
This picture thus is really an old one, with some new paint. I shot this back in November, 2014, with Renate standing in front of the camera. I took it through Photoshop and Nik to accentuate her light hair, to brighten her eyes a little and to bring out her body a bit better.
So even though the picture is 1,5 years old, the postprocessing is from today.

Here is a photo from a shoot quite some time ago. It’s summertime and it’s nice to go through old shoots, looking for nice shots.
