It's cool having your own studio!

Fun in the studio!

I love having my own studio! I can shoot anytime I want, however I want! It's pretty cool.

These photos are from a recent fun session I did with Ange, a wonderful, really energetic model!

I just updated my website with one of my recent shoots.

We managed to get this chinoiserie- boho shoot done despite the challenging weather and our busy schedules!

The stylist is Raji Sohal, make-up artist/hairstylist is Shadia Makeil and the model is one of my favourites, Julie Rasmussen from Specs.

"Using strobes"

I got my hands on the new (November 09) PDN today and saw this great article about creating beautiful lighting with just small strobes. Of course it is the Strobist, David Hobby giving the tips!

When I found out about his blog I was starting to shoot for my graduation portfolio. I got so influenced by his work and blog I did pretty much my entire portfolio with little strobe lights on light stands!

"7 Tips for Maximum Impact with Minimum Lights

The blogger behind The Strobist shares some of his favorite tips for lighting on the go."

I love how he turns 'the ambient light problem' into an advantage by using it as a back light. He gives really creative and practical tips on how to create mood. You have to subscribe to PDN to be able to read the whole article or buy the magazine.

I would definitely recommend this latest issue of PDN since it's full of useful lighting advice this month!
