Here is an oldie from my first shoot with lovely Marion back in 2017. There are still so many pictures that look great, and the Dutch weather today was a good excuse to revisit that shoot and turn one those pictures into black & white and post it here.

Hope you enjoy it!

Here’s one I shot the other day in November, 2018 of Daantje. The lens was a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART, opened to f/1.6.

I haven’t done many shoots lately, so here’s one from November last year with the lovely Marion. It was actually quite dark in this particular spot, which was surrounded by trees. Fortunately the Canon 6D (mkI) is very sensitive to light, so you can still shoot at high ISO’s without too much noise.

Here’s another one from a recent shoot with Marion.

One thing I did notice is the synchronization with the Linkstar LF-250 being 99% perfect; there is a small darkening at the bottom of the image, which is due to me using Yongnuo high-speed sync radio triggers, which almost work with the Linkstar, but not for the full 100%. I should test it with the Linkstar LF-400 to see if that works any better.

But if doesn’t really make the image any less. 😉

This shot was taken using a 90x60cm softbox on the left, and a small spotlight at the right rear of the model. Post-processing was done using Nik Analog Efex Pro.

This is Marion, who came by my studio almost a week ago. We used mostly a simple square softbox, and a gridded flashhead for the hair now and then.

This is one of my favorite pictures of her.

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.

ella, hair, wind

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.

One more of Skye Nova, right in the center of Leiden.

I used flash here although it doesn’t show as prominently. The wall was actually quite bright and I dumbed that down quite a bit.
