I was asked to head the first Frankfurt Strobist meetup and help out with lighting. I'd like to thank everyone for hiring me and giving me such a pleasant stay.

I strongly (convince myself to) believe that professional photographers should take some time to play every now and then. We played around all the time when we where amateurs and that's what made us good enough to go pro anyway. So to become a better pro, I try to allow some time to play in my tight schedule.
A few months ago I got into a conversation between some like minded photographers and we decided to do some kind of fun shoot together. I actually didn't have the time but I went anyway. And I'm glad I did, because I came back with more energy and motivation.
Our make up artist did a great job getting the models ready and being cold for a few hours, what a trouper.

Like almost every year for the past 10 years or so, my parents and our little family went for a ski holiday in Austria.
I have replaced my backup camera (that was stolen) with a 1Ds mkII. Because I never worked intensively with this camera befor, I took it on holliday to get used to it and play around.

A few years ago I made a video of Ann's 18th birthday party. Ann and her parents went throught some really though times during the last years. To celebrate that everything is going well again they threw another party. Ann and her friens might be handicapped but boy do they know how to party.
I photographed this party to thank those great kids and their supporting families for one of the best parties I've ever been to.
No well paid commercial job or drop dead gorgeous model shoot can compeed with this. This is what really counts.

Some photographers loose their freshness, spontanity and creativity after a few years in this very competitive business. To avoid that happening to me, I take some time to play every now and then.
This time my friend and fellow photographer Karla, showed me some tricks for working in a small studio and I took her outside for some strobist style shooting.
TECH INFO:
One Vivitar 285HV to camera right.

The incredibly fun wedding of Sara en Kristof
I used to shoot quite a lot of weddings but these days I limit myself to 10 weddings a year. I would be better off shooting a corporate or commercial assignment on those days but I just love shooting fun weddings too much to stop doing it.

I went to the first congres of the European Federation of Professional Photographers (FEP) in Spain. My camerabag was stolen on the last day so I lost a lot of money and all my images. Luckily I got to use a friends IXUS to make at least some images.

My son Kobe sometimes doesn't get the attention I'd like to give him. So once in while we take some time to do something fun with jus the guys
Kobe had been talking about fishing, so I asked one of my best friends Sven (aka Ponette) to take us fishing.
We spent the afternoon at a creek but didn't catch anything. But we took enough food for a nice bbq on the beach anyway. Sleeping in a tent on the beach was quite an adventure for Kobe. The three of us really enjoyed it.
Even more fun than the fishing was the fact that Sven took us on a heavy off-road track to the fishing spot in an old 4x4. Kobe and me.
For Kobe's 5th birthday party we went to an indoor/outdoor playground. The kids really enjoyed themselves. I hope my big boy liked his party.

We did this series of pictures in an old factory near Aalst. I'm not used to shooting strobist-style so this can hopefully get you over your fear to just try it & be amazed by the results you can get using only 1 off-camera flash.

A while ago I brought my Canon 5 along when I visited my friend Bert Stephani to experiment a bit with some B&W film. I ended up shooting some details around his house & some portraits.
Thanks for viewing & enjoy !

If you're not tall enough to ring the bell, you have to be smart. Kobe and Maya used a broom to get to the door bell.

Tonight I was one of the few fortunate people who got to play with a beta version of the new Canon EOS 5D mkII
I only held it for like two minutes but that was enough to be really impressed. It feels and handles well and it's amazing how little noise you get with such a megapixel packed sensor at high resolution.
I shot some HD video's at high iso's and they look just amazing. Too bad I'm not allowed to share them yet.
Because this is a beta camera there's no software that can handle the RAW-files, that's why I shot this picture in jpeg. This pictures was shot at iso 3200.
This one is slightly processed in Lightroom.
I'm very impressed with this camera, thanks Canon.

Pieter complains about me making these extremely unflattering portraits of him all the time but the truth is that he actually helps me.

A group of calanetics ethousiasts asked me to shoot some pics at their annual bbq as a surprise for their teacher. I'm afraid I wasn't the surprise she expected ;-)

Shooting families isn't always easy. Different characters, looks, clothes and sometimes clashing ego's. None of these problems on this shoot. This was one of those shoots that I realise that I'm so lucky that I can do this for a living.

As part of my workshop 'the Decisive Photographer', I did a one hour live shoot. I wanted to play it fair and didn't check the location or anything in advance. We just took a walk and stopped when we saw some good light, backgrounds, ... for portraits. Thanks to some of the people in the class for modelling.
