Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that a couple of fellows have included a link to my blog into theirs.

Thanks both to Guy at g.humbert
and Raoul at Raoul Schmitt - people photography

Not to forget Yves Kortum at Yves Kortum who does Photography for a living.


You can find them as well under the bookmarks...

best light to them

I did a draft for showing my portfolio.
PORTFOLIO

Not so much an automated system but i wanted to keep a clean layout.

Implemented as well the cooliris plugin, wich is a nice way of showing pictures.

Thanks to Vanessa and asimo...

The galleries are about to be re-designed. As this is a longer project i have redirected the former site to this blog.

As there are some exciting changes in my professional life i may not be able to update either the blog or the galleries as often and as quick as i wish.

Things should be stabilizing by june 2009.

A new kind of bodypainting, liquid latex



Many thanks to Pol for this nice set...

and to Nathalie for the make-up / painting

Had a new kind of model in the studio this afternoon



A different approach, as the snake is not so easy coached
I an impressed by these animals, this was a fascinating experience

No animal or person was harmed during the session and i would like to thank Dan and Pol for their kind support.

A second one with a larger animal

This time Nathalie as MUA was playing again



Many thank to Myriam, even if she did not feel so well with her new face

To show more of the new setup in the studio

Started new year with 2 weeks on holiday.

Today was the first day after ... not an easy start

Got delayed somewhat

A pleasant session with Myriam.







And a 100% crop of the second one for those who think i overdo skin processing ...
This is something which does not show properly on a picture when resized for web publishing.
But on a A2 print the result is very detailed

Sophie was fun to work with as she is very patient, she has a 'classical' face an a beautiful figure

Also kown as schmoffel in the photoshoot forum

We spent a good afternoon, laughing an doing some work
I like working with an MUA, especially Natalie. Finishing pictures afterwards is so easy ...
No skin processing done except removing some blemishes sand some stray hair !

running out of disk space !

Alas i do not have the budget for the NAS solution i am looking for.
Final choice narrowed to 3 possibilities:
- drobo with drobo-share
- lacie 5big network
- lacie 4big quadra

Most applealing is the drobo with 7.5TB (5 x 1.5 TB disks)

Until then i will add a couple of WD My Book Studio Edition II 1 TB

They should last until june, then budget will be available
