The Dutch School of Photography is sponsored by:

New series of Workshops with Henk van Kooten | ‘The Concept of Family’

Theme: ‘The Concept of Family’

A set of six workshop, all related to family-photography.
By far the most interesting part of social photography.
Henk will demonstrate all the inns and outs of the concept,
the lighting, the posing, the composition and the finishing (post-production).

The workshops will all have the same structure:
- the theory and vision
the customer type and way of communication
the inspiration
the proposed concept
explain why and how
the bodylanguage
the story behind the image
the stylist and make-up artist
- the photoshoot (only Henk will demonstrate, no other photography is allowed)
setup of the light
how to communicate during the photoshoot
using the family as inspiration
‘reading’ the bodylanguage
posing and composition
creative extra
- the postproduction and printing
raw file correction, color balance
conversion to tiff
cleaning and softing the skin
black and white
color
plug inns
choice of paper and how to print
So
So there is no need to take your camera with you.
To learn is more part of this workshop. It is not a masterclass.
It is based on knowledge and inspiration.
Real learning is not making a copy, but motivate yourself.

Eveninglecture with Simon John | 28 june 2010

The Dutch School was really happy to have a creative genious like Simon John,
doing a talk for the DSoP.
His talk was about the theme:
The Art and Reality of a Modern Social Studio

Not a standard talk, but a typical Simon way.
Using his jokes normally in England, now in Holland it was slightly different.
Still it worked very well in achieving an audience that was taking in all he was saying.
To make a good ” kind of what Simon was talking about writing “ I will put a line-up here:
- photography is about trust
- customers will come back for the second, third etc time
- branding, your name, your style, your photography
- art / making money / sience, the combination works better than the parts alone
- how do you see yourself and how does the customers sees you
- how to distinguish yourself from other photographers
- the differences between an amature and a pro:
the story
lighting
color
shape and composition
- male and female shape to see and use:
male ... the v
female ... the curve
- see the idea and than turn it upside down, is a way of changing and challenging yourself
- do not just copy
- if you want to achieve something:
do NOT go for the WHY
GO for the HOW
- inspiration is for Simon based on
visiting a gallery
books
- it help if your attitude is enthousiastic
- Simon is working a lot in the system of:
pre-visualisation
postproduction
presentation
(brainstorming, creating and shooting)
- promote your studio with more clever words:
if Simon sells his cd with images to a customer (if !), he makes it special by mentioning the value in a different way. So the cd is not just a piece of plastic. He says:
this cd contains images that are the result of 25 years of experience.
He says not photoshop, but editing.
Not pictures but images.

Also:
Simon used a film and a slideshow to demonstrate his work.
Answered questions

Time was gone really fast .
Simon made everybody realise that we still are something that is a profession in
the future .

The after-‘party’ was a good summer-evening relaxing ending.
