Improvising in between the video-takes. A picture I took of performer Paola Ghidini during our filming-session to get shots for a new video on the design of italian designer Corradino Garofalo. Paola is 'wearing' a shiny metal collar made from the flexible objects Corradino Garofalo designed.
The video and pictures were taken at De Stilte in Breda and is now in post-production.

In this shot I only used natural daylight.

The title is a quote from the movie "Ex machina", a masterful story about a possible (inevitable?) next step in evolution on this planet: robots with artificial intelligence. I consider this movie a must see; very intriguing.

This is a shot of Paolo Yao Kouadio taken in between sessions of filming to get material for a new video. Once more the shiny metallic masks of italian designer Corradino Garofalo was subject matter and the talented performers Paola Ghidini and Paolo Yao Kouadio were so kind to interpret moods in movements.

Working with creative people is so much fun. The energy of ideas was sparkling during our photoshoot somewhere in the city of Breda. Let's try this. Let's try that.
For the photoshoot I singled out a specific area near the city-centre and the objective was that the models/performers use the elements they saw and combined it with their passion: dance and conveying emotion. When we arrived at a new location I didn't have to ask 'what kind of images do you think we make with this'. They immediately started with their creative process. Very admirable.
This is one of the resulting images.
A photoshoot I did with the talented performers Davide Guarino, Paolo Yao Kouadio, Wiktoria Czakon and Donna Scholten. Photography-assistent during the shoot was my friend Andrew Greening.
Bring her home: creating a story-telling scene in an elevator.

Today I did a wonderful photoshoot with performers Davide Guarino, Paulo Yao Kouadio, Wiktoria Czakon, Donna Scholten and my photographer friend Andrew Greening.
In between the posed dance images we took, I took some great portraits. This is one them of Wiktoria Czakon.
Thanks everyone for a wonderful day!

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
What are you afraid of?
A result from a photoshoot with Paolo Yao Kouadio.
I have been quite busy with my photography assignments for a few weeks, so hardly any time to keep up my blog. Which is actually a good sign.
Some time ago I did a photo/videoshoot together with performer Paolo Yao Kouadio. My previous post was a portrait of him. This is the video we produced. I hope you like it.
This weekend I did a great video/photoshoot with dancer Paolo Yao Kouadio. I will present the video here as soon as the editing is finished.
One of the images I had in mind is actually a remake of a picture I made together with Tomas. See below. I wanted to recreate the image replacing the bleached hair / light skin model with a bleached hair / dark skin model. You can compare the result with the initial picture below.
Hello Instragrammers,
I have opened an account at Instagram. Pictures I post there will all be smartphonology, i.e. pictures I took with my celllphone and which I think are worth while showing. I promise not to post any pictures of kittens, or my new bicycle or what's on my plate for dinner.
Also good to know, perhaps, is that nothing on my Instagram-page will be posted on my website or on facebook. So maybe and hopefully you will find it worthwhile to check it out and follow, like and comment.....
Thank you!

A quick portrait shot of my good friend Mario Mulder. When I caught a glimpse of his taped shoulder due to an injury, I thought it would be a cool part of a picture like this. Mario is going through a rough spot in his life, so I guess this strong portrait portrays his resilience and dedication to come out of it a stronger person.
Another "still" from a videoshoot I did last week with three dancers. The footage will be used by Italian designer Corradino Garofalo to present his design on the Ventura Lambrate Fair in Milano, Italy this month. The Ventura Lambrate Fair is part of the Milan Design Week 2015.
In between the video-takes I also did some photography. This is one of the photographs I took of a dance-sequence in which the design-object is presented. It might be included in the final video which will have its' premiere on the Venura Lambrate Fair. Once the video is available for publication, which will be after the Fair, I will add it to my blog.
Designer: Corradino Garofalo
