Snowboard Shoot with Cathy

I spent the afternoon in the studio again, working on my little pet project. I had Cathy in the studio this time. She is a snowboard addict. I had asked her to bring her board along and we shot some board fashion.

And some swimwear too…

Apple Adept

I finally did it… I bought an Apple MacBook Pro! After years and years of bitchin’ about the other OS, I finally got fed up with all of it. With every software update, something always went wrong on the other laptop. I ended up having to restore the damn thing every 2 months. No more! This shiny laptop is mine…

I’ve become an Apple Adept and I like it. Can’t wait for the iPhone to become available in Belgium.

Makeup Shoot for Jessie Van Roie

Jessie is a young and talented makeup artist I met at the Apertura SD at Brepols. Everyone at Apertura liked her work. So we decided to help her out with her portfolio. Today’s shoot was all about her work. We had 3 models come in to the studio. Jessie did their makeup and we all did our best to shoot a couple of nice images she could use in her portfolio.

Mariana in the Studio

I had the lovely Mariana in the studio today. We seemed to connect almost right away. We had a blast and shot something completely different then we had planned. But the shoot turned out fine.

Thank you girl! I hope this shoot is the first of many, and I hope it is the beginning of a long friendship.

More from the shoot with Mariana in her album.

Yesterday

Yesterday,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly,
I’m not half the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she
Had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she
Had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said,
Something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Project Shoot with Miranda

I’m working on a little photographic project that involves sign language. I’m not gonna say too much about it. I want to keep it a little secret until it’s finished.

But we also shot some other photos. A lot of fun… more photos in this album. Thanks girl! Hopefully, again sometime soon.

Tattoo

I waited 6 years and 6 long months for this: I finally got myself a tattoo! I thought long and hard about it the last years. I’ve been certain about what I wanted and where I wanted the tattoo for awhile now. Had to wait 6 months for an appointment, but I have a biohazard sign of about 1.5″ on my left upper arm. Monica at Marc’s Tattoo Studio in Balen tagged me.

Apertura SD at Brepols

Late last year, I joined Apertura. Apertura is a new photo club that specializes in event and model photography. I joined them today for the 1st time for a little shooting day (SD).

One of the Apertura members had arranged access to the abandoned factory of Brepols in Turnhout: wide open halls, lots of grafity, … A very interesting location.

There’s a few more photos in my Brepols album.

Amsterdam

Je kan er boeken kopen die
Je hier heel zelden vindt
Je kan er langs de grachten lopen
Je haar los in de wind
Je kan er uren slijten
De parken zijn er groen
Je kan er naar Van Gogh gaan kijken
Dat zou je eigenlijk wel es moeten doen
Je bent er vogelvrij
Omdat er alles kan
Zo dichtbij
En toch zover
Is Amsterdam

Want daar in Amsterdam
Ben jij zover van mij
Toch voel ik Amsterdam zo pijnlijk dicht nabij

In het concertgebouw
Is het zeer dikwijls feest
Je weet toch nog dat zelfs Randy Newman daar ooit is geweest
Wie van ons vermoedde toen
Dat jij daar nu heel alleen
Een schuilplaats hebt gezocht
We gingen altijd samen heen
Wie van ons is vogelvrij
Wie van ons die nog alles kan
Zo dichtbij
En toch zover
Is Amsterdam

Want daar in Amsterdam
Ben jij zover van mij
Toch voel ik Amsterdam zo pijnlijk dicht nabij
