I went to “Vlaanderen zingt”, the Leuven edition.
Imagine a lot of people singing a bunch of “wrong” songs. Apparently a lot of people think they can sing. I can asure you, they can’t. But they looked like they were having fun.
Some of the songs were okay, they brought back some memories, some good, some not so good.
So why was I there taking pictures when clearly I wasn’t there to sing along …well, since one of the people organising the Leuven edition is an old colleague of mine, I wanted to surprise him with a few pictures of “his” event.

I had the pleasure to work with a few models in Doel. Melissa (the co-photographer) contacted the models, she choose the environment, she booked the make-up artist.  So what was my job ? Turn up and take some pictures. Sometimes life can be very simple.

It was a while since I picked up my camera and did an outside shoot but luckily I quickly remembered how to set up the light (and let it blow over by the wind). The result was a broken softbox after 5 minutes of shooting with no spare in the care.

When I’ve spotted Damla I knew I wanted her in front of my camera. I always wanted a goth/metal/alternative girl to pose for me.
I’m still not happy though, the next one needs to be covered in tattoos.
Do you know somebody (I prefer without stars in the face) ? Send her to me !

Just look at this picture.

Yes, the make-up consists of feathers.
Some people have lots of patience putting the feathers one by one on the models face. I’m not one of them.
I was the lazy photographer who only had to push the button of the camera while the model and the make-up artist (lovely Sofie) did all the hard work.
Sometimes life isn’t fair.

Again some examples of the lovely lasolite hilite background. I kinda like the way you can make the background disappear. I still struggle with the floor (perhaps that’s why you can’t see it here) because it stays slightly grey. I know with a couple of extra lights, it would be solved swiftly but I don’t think my bank will give me more money to buy them.

These girls are added to my portfolio.

I had (again) the pleasure of working with Annaïck. Limited to one location, I tried different light setups and even my ringflash.
