Good Job!

Very nice video, and some nice tips in there!

I love how you keep your light setup simple and ’squeeze’ the most out of it by trying different angles.

Hope there’s more where this came from

I would like to throw you a photo challenge since I’ve not seen it done well. How about a video on shooting ice and snow sculptures?

Wauw Bert and Pieter, you’re both doing a great job. I really like the videos: they’re short but I learn a lot from it (thanks to the narrative style).

Thanks for sharing you’re knowledge!

@ger I convert my black & whites using Lightroom 2.2 and the standard build in black & white preset (high or low contrast, depending on the image) and then tweak it a little bit (exposure, recovery, blacks, contrast, etc) I don’t use much photoshop, only dodging & burning & a little vignetting now and then

@Fabio like Patrick already answered : it’s a lastolite Ezybox

@FD-pictures only one flash fits in the softbox. I use a combination of lightroom & photoshop, the most part it’s lightroom. If I use a preset it’s one that came with Lightroom or one from the Brilliant! set from David Jay that I tweak afterwards

@Matteo I’m not sure I understand your question completely … Are you saying that in the movie-footage Erika seems a bit overexposed but ok in the photos or … ? I always overexpose the face a tiny bit, because it softens the face and removes most of the wrinkles etc without having to use any postprocessing

@everyone that commented : thank you for your very kind comments. I’m very happy that you guys seem to like it !!! Stay tuned for more
