I joined my friend Glenn for a shoot at the Geel triathlon. He was asked by the organizing comitee to shoot some pictures around the track. We shot the 1st half of the races on foot, shooting athletes and spectators.

But since we had an all access pass and Glenn was asked too, we handled the 2nd part of the race like real pro’s: we took Glenn motorcycle around the cycling track to shoot pictures. Glenn drive and me on the back shooting! A truely exciting experience!

And we managed to get a couple of shots right…

More shots in the event’s album.

Apertura‘s monthly shoot led us to an abandoned hotel in Mechelen. Micheal made sure we were allowed to shoot at this location, Stefan took care of the catering and Jessie did the makeup of the models… Thanks guys!!!

I had made a deal with our junior members: if they would bring their own model, I would try to give them some tips and tricks. They held up their end of the deal and brought along Rosie. So I tried to teach those young photographers a little something and get a couple of shots for myself.

She was a little nervous at first. Who could blame her? It was her first time in front of a camera and she had to deal with 3 eager young photographers and an annoying teacher. But after a while, Rosie turned into a professional model. And she started working with all of us as if she’s been doin’ it all her life.

Thanks Rosie! You were just great! I hope you will kind enough to model for me again sometime soon.

I wish you all the best! Thank you for making me part of your wedding party.

Shot with the gang of Apertura yesterday. And I had to use all my skills to convince the models to work with me.

Loes was kind to me: all it took was the promise she would get a cup of hot coco sometime soon.

But I had to use a little force on Claudia. All for fun of course.

Actually Claudia was very nice and very cooperative. I didn’t need to keep her at gun point at all. Here’s a 1st impression of our mini shoot together.

Thanks ladies! I enjoyed working with the both of you.

Today, I had Inke in the studio again; our 3rd shoot together. She had sent me lots of examples of things she wanted to do. So we went ahead, got into the studio and tried to give our own little twist to them magazine shots. We ended up having lots of fun in even tryin’ to get the poses right.

And I had fun doin’ something special with the shots.

More pics in Inke’s latest gallery. Also look at the galleries of our shoots in 2008 and 2007.

Thanks for the shoot Inke! Also a big thank you to Jessie for the make up and Gert for the assistance during the shoot.

I am so ashamed of myself. It’s the end of February and I have hardly touched my camera this year. A lack of time? A lack of inspiration? Don’t know… A lack of motivation. That’s for sure.

I made a fresh start today and joined my friends of Apertura for the monthly shoot. Jurgen go us in at the old papermill of Herisem: a very nice location. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to shoot outside. And technical problems made my shoot a bit troublesome. But I did manage to get a few nice shots.

Thank you for organizing the shoot and taking such good care of us Jurgen! And thank you Caroline, Eline and Ine for being so patient with me.
