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.

bw, passion

It might seem that nothing much is happening here, and you may be right. 😉 Most action takes place on Instagram and less on Facebook (and less, and less…).

Still, I like this one quite a bit, so time for another post here. Hope you like it as well. 🙂

It’s from July this year with Sunsenescence and Anthony. I love the softness and had a hard time switching between high and low contrast. I usually like high contrast, but here a softer look felt better.

I usually use Social Media these days; Instagram and Facebook, rather than post here. Seems having your own website is nice but doesn’t get the reach you get from good old IG. 🙂

Anyway, time to post one here I guess; it’s Marion. We went for a day to a museum, shooting both inside and outside in various places. This is one of my favorites.

bw, home, sun, xenia

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.

Credits to beautiful Xenia for modeling & styling.

This is from more than a month ago with the sweet and lovely Fabiola Aguilera. It was great to shoot with her. This is one of my favorites of that day…

Here’s another nice black & white shot from a while ago. I love the toning on her back, and the contrasty look.

This shot was made with a single stripbox right next to the model. The light was in the shot but removed in postprocessing. Water and oil are always a nice effect on skin.

blonde, bw, glass, natural, naturallight

A new shoot with Marion; this time I wanted to throw some things overboard and try some more loose photography. Just showing some background, studio stuff, homely things. And also some natural light (for the most part).

This one was shot in front of a window facing north. I love the softness of the light; better than any softbox I’ve encountered (due to the larger size of the light source of course, but still).

Another one from the shoot with Annemiek and Else. We did a lot of hairflips in this shoot, and although it’s a bit of hit & miss, a lot of them actually look pretty cool. Here is one which has been converted to Black & White, some vignetting and some extra contrast.

Another one in cooperation with Ayten La Rouge Visagie. The model is Claudia Kooy van Rijen, a very sporty mom.
