Gert Willems and myself organized a meeting for everyone involved with model photography. We called it PhotoVaganza. And it was a big success: around 80 models, makeup artists, photographers and bodypainters showed up yesterday. Everyone left a happy puppy: good food, drinks, lots of opportunity to shoot pictures and a whole lot of fun.
Thank you everyone for coming. We hope to see you all again soon. And a special thanks to everyone who helped us make it a fun day: Stefan, Chris, Glenn, Lieve, Francois of Black & White Limo (for providing the limo) and Ajan for the pizza service.
In between all the running around and talking to a lot of people, I managed to shoot some photos too. Thank you Hilde, Lesley and Mariana for spending some time in front of my lens (again). Here’s a few impressions… Hilde outside the abandoned mill:
And Mariana relaxing in her brand new swimsuit:
Since this first edition of PhotoVaganza was such a big success, we plan a 2nd edition later this year. Stay tuned…
I spent the last couple of days in Paris for a training course: my least favorite city in Europe and the course wasn’t really interesting. But I managed to have 5 minutes of fun… shooting this pic of the Eiffel Tower.
Actually no… I had more than 5 minutes of fun. I also enjoyed having dinner with my colleague Alex too.
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…
More of Cathy in her album.
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.
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.
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,
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.

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.
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.
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.
