Kite Festival in Knokke

Starting today, I’ve got a week of from work. Got lots of plans for the week: lots of things that involve a camera.

Today, I was at the beach all afternoon: trying to shoot some action shots at the international Kite Festival in Knokke. It was a nice sunny day, but just not enough wind I guess. ’cause I didn’t get to see too much action. Expect for a couple of guys tryin’ some tricks on a mountain board.

And this young lady caught my eye. The scene made me think of a sunny winter afternoon even though today was nice and sunny.

iPhone Micro Site Release

I have been foolin’ around a lot with web design and development these last few months. Actually: it took a lot of my time. And one of the things I’ve been working on is a website tailored to the display size of Apple’s iPhone.

Designing for a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels can be quite intriguing. How does one create an attractive website that is fast, small in size, easy to use and still holds all the information one would want to on such a small display? As usual, the internet is the best source of information and inspiration. It took some research: I went to some reading material on designing for handhelds and select Highslide to power my portfolio page. Then I went to work…

It took a couple of days to design and code the site. But it is done! I’ve just released my iPhone micro site. And now that it’s done, I actually quite proud of it.

Euh… You’ll need an iPhone or an iPod Touch to view it… Obviously!

Mylene Farmer in Brussels

Last week’s Mylene Farmer show in Paris was great. Yesterday’s show in Brussels was even better. We had a better view of the stage and the sound at the Boudewijn stadium was good (surprise!). The advantage of having an iPhone, is that I have a camera with me at all times. The disadvantage is that the iPhone’s camera is pretty crap. Especially in harsh light circumstances the shots come out like crap. And still I couldn’t resist…

Mylene Farmer in Paris

Just got home from a weekend in Paris. Not my favorite city in the world as many of you know. But when Mylene Farmer is in town for a show, Paris seems a whole lot nicer. I actually had fun this weekend: good show, good food, good company, nice hotel… I don’t think there’s a lot more I can ask.

I dropped by my friends of Apertura and Miss Fashion on the way home to say hello while they were shooting in Antwerp. Such a petty I couldn’t make it to the shoot, but it was still nice to see everyone having fun.

PhotoVaganza IV

Yesterday’s 4th edition of PhotoVaganza seemed to be a success. Gert and I received a lot of thank you notes. Makes me very happy.

I have been a little busy and preoccupied lately, so Gert did most of the work for this edition. And he did well! Thanks for your effort Gert! I managed to give Gert a little hand the last couple of days and by 10’o clock, we were ready.

People start arriving a few at a time: familiar faces, but also a lot of new faces. Some eager to shoot, others a little bashful and unfamiliar with the concept. But when they saw what was goin’ on, those feelings quickly disappeared. And by 6pm, we had a nice crowd gathering for the traditional pizza buffet.

And then, after the crowd had left and the lights went down, it was time for a little fun with my closest friends…

Luc, Glenn, Alain and myself had a little impromptu shoot with our favorite models: Mariana and Eef. Big fun!!!

Miss Fashion 2010 at the Lommelse Sahara

My friends of Apertura, myself and my new lovely friends of Miss Fashion 2010 set up camp in the dunes of the Lommelse Sahara for the 2nd of 3 shoots we’re doin’ together. Hard work and a sunny day turned the shoot in a lot of fun… The little side project and dinner was great fun too…

Here’s a couple of shots of the team in action.

I guess that our make-up artists had the toughest job this time. They had to work in harsh conditions: wind and sand gave them everything but a clean working environment.

Miss Fashion Ladies at X Beach

I promised a couple of shots from the Miss Fashion fashion show at the X Beach the other day. Finished post processing yesterday evening, so here it goes… Enjoy…

2nd Shooter at a Wedding

I had the pleasure of bein’ an assistant and 2nd shooter to my friend Bart Henseler at the Wedding of Cindy & Bruno. While Bart was discussing some of the upcoming shots with the happy couple, I took a typical shot of the bride’s flower arrangement. I kinda like it, so I’ld like to share it.
