Last weekend I went to Amsterdam to attend a Damien Lovegrove Passion on the Streets workshop. I always enjoy meeting up with fellow photographers and especially on these kinds of workshops. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Ian Freelance (link) again and my buddy Graham Law joined in too! This was Graham’s first workshop with Damien Lovegrove and Graham (like myself) was on a real high after the day had ended. Mind you we were both very tired! The models Sam and Bas were great and very easy to get along with.
This was taken a few meters from the coffee shop we met in.
Not far away was a canal, a perfect opportunity for a portrait!
Time to get personal...
Can you feel the passion?
Still at the same location near the canal.
Then it was time to move on... This was a simple wall with a splash of flash!
Increased the exposure for this frame.
Okay, another wall... but the fake door adds a little mystery.
I really like the framing of this image, even though it probably breaks all the rules!
I like the contrast the wall provides in the framing of this image. Although it probably separates the couple as opposed to showing togetherness.
I took a few moments to explore other angles and I just like this image. I like that the bicycles are in the frame also.
Something a bit alternative. Same location as the previous image.
Another angle of the previous image.
Moving on to another location. Sam and Bas were sitting on some stairs which you can just see in shot.
I like Bas's expression in this frame.
A close-up of the previous image. The kick light you see on Sam's hair was provided by a flash.
I love Sam's expression. Especially in the colour version in the next post.
Almost the end of the day. I really like the way Bas is holding Sam.
I like the low view point of this frame.
