PRODUCTION DIARY

Models are made!

Many young girls compare themselves with the glamorous images of models they see in advertising, in magazines and on billboards. During a recent fashion photo shoot, we discussed what impact this has to some girls, and how it can influence their self confidence, self image and self esteem.

We decided to create a short video, showing what steps our models go through to transform from regular girls to amazing fashion models, and to help those not familiar with our industry to understand, what we do to create the perfect illusion.

Begitta Fashion Design

Fashion designer Begitta Stolk came to my studio to photograph 8 of her latest creations.

Here are the first few impressions, more will follow…

Caitlin Holland

As a photographer, you have to work hard sometimes, to get “the shot”.

Not so today, working with gorgeous Caitlin Holland was a breeze, and the pictures speak for themselves.

Gabrielle Harland

Here are a few samples of my studio photo-shoot with Australian model Gabrielle Harland for Begitta Fashion.

Courtney Thorpe

I had the great pleasure to work with Australian model Courtney Thorpe today.

This natural beauty made my job oh so easy…

iMM Casting 2

Rob Bampton from iModel Management held his 2nd model-casting at my studio, and I was more than happy to create a few “snapshots” from the models that showed up.

Calvin Klein, Lancome, DKNY

Once again I had the pleasure to photograph some amazing perfumes for all the Christmas advertising:

Calvin Klein, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lancome, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Burberry and Givenchi Paris.

One thing is for sure, my studio definitely smells good!

ABDA – Costumes 2011

Part 2 of my “Ballet Month” posts: “The costumes“.

For the ABDA 2011 concert program, we photographed over 100 ballet girls in more than 150 costumes and a total of 42 different stage scenes. Here are a few examples, as well as the finished program cover…

ABDA – Classes of 2011

Every year in November, we get into “Ballet” mode, and start preparing for my wife’s Dance Academy end-of-year concert. Over the next few weeks, I will post a series of images, graphics and little stories about this years production called “The Silk Road“.

To start things off, like every year, I produce all the class photos. In short: 110 kids, photographed over 2 long days!
