DIFO Photo Exposition

I have a series of photos on display at the 30th annual exposition of photo club DIFO in Oud-Turnhout. The exposition will be held from 10 to 12 October. Everyone is invited. More info on the DIFO website (in Dutch only).

Miss Fashion (3)

My colleagues of Apertura and myself completed another shoot for Miss Fashion 2009 today. A studio shoot this time. Didn’t do any shooting myself. I tried to be the shooting director for a change: keeping track of time, making sure everything runs smooth and that everybody was happy.

PhotoVaganza

Just got back from the 2nd edition of my own PhotoVaganza. We had a blast: a lot of happy people, a lot of action goin’ on… great meeting! Thanks everyone. Hope to see you all again at the next one.

I did a lot of talking, a bit of working and managed to fool around with my sisters for just a little bit. Just enough for a couple of nice shots.

To start off: a portrait of Mariana

And a slightly naughty pic of Eef…

Thanks girls!

Before-and-After Challenge

Joeri el Hazimi passed a photo challenge down to me: pick 3 of your photos and post them in the original version and the retouched version. Then pass on the challenge to 3 other photographers. Thomas Bouve came up with this brilliant idea. And you know me… I find it hard to refuse a challenge like that.

Before showing my 3 photos, I would like to pass the challenge down to:

And now… Without further a due… Here are mine…

Miss Fashion (2)

We invaded the little beach at the Lommelse Sahara today for another shoot with the Miss Fashion 2009 finalists. Tents, flashes, camera’s… we turned it into a regular d-day. At the end of the day, 6 photographers were flashing away at the edge of the water. It looked like a nasty thunderstorm.

It resulted in a few good shots; at least for me…

New Talent

Couldn’t sleep… Just could not resist the temptation of posting these. Shot just yesterday, and too cute not to show…

Shoot with Saske at Home

I shot with Saske at her place this afternoon. Just a quick little shoot, nothing fancy. But it was fun to do. Thanks Saske!

Miss Fashion (1)

20 lovely young ladies took the stage at Carre in Willebroek last night to compete for the titel of Miss Fashion 2009. Yesterday’s semi finals is the first of a series of events photo club Apertura will be covering for this organization.

Karen of FashionMove invited us to do a series of photo shoots. We kindly accepted. And yesterday Glenn and myself headed down to Carre to shoot the contestants as they walked down the catwalk. Unfortunately, five of them did not make it to the finals. But, you will see more shots of the girls that did make it on this site and others in the near future.

This year’s finalists, and Miss and Mister fashion 2008.

European Cup Waterski

I don’t shoot action sports very often. But today I went down to Geel to watch the European Cup Waterski. Shot a couple of decent photos there.

It is amazing how close those boats come to the edge. They get as close as a couple of meters to the concrete walls of the canal. And guess what… I sat in the splash zone and got really hosed.

Voice Activated Lightstand

My friend and colleague Chris Bailleul invited me to tag along for a strobist shoot at a little lake. He needed someone to assist him with the lighting. Basically, he needed someone to stand in the water and hold the flash. That is what we call a “Voice Activated Lightstand” at Apertura. I agreed to help him if I got an action shot. So here we go…
