Evening Lecture Jesus Miguel Muel de Dios
Dutch School of Photography
November 15th 2010

All the way from Spain was Muel coming over to do an evening lecture about
Nudes and Portraits.
A evening with impact in photography.
The fantastic cropping of images, the showing images with no skin-cleaning.
Muel told about his growing and the importance of his family.
His consciousness in photography.
Some words to characterize Muels photography:
characterized simplicity
pure
daring compositions and crops
Than Muel told about his calenders with nudes. A volleyball team, the medical students.
All part of his very daring nudes.
The amazing part was Muel showing the nude-photography of colleague photographers.
Including himself.
Now there is a waiting-list from Dutch photographers coming over from Holland to Muels' Gijon, to be photographed........
Muel ended his talk with a very personal film. About his father, his family and realy beautyful spoken words by his mother. It made everybody quiet for some time.

Muel was happy his first talk in English went very good, broken-Spanish English is a kind of new international language now.

The warm voice and personality of Muel showed new kind of photography.
Although Muel always wants more, better, hating his old photography, it is good to know that learning and evolving your vision and your photography is only possible if you are kind of permanently unhappy with yourself as a photographer-artist.


Tis was the last lecture of this year.
In January we (the Dutch School of Photography) will launch a new programme for 2011.
Including a membership-option.
We can promise that this will be another great year of 'new ways of learning'


Henk & Christina van Kooten

Thank you Scotland!

'Identify Yourself'
a photographic identity by creating your own creativity
Monday 1st November 2010 - 10am-5pm
place: Loxley Colour Glasgow

A big thank you to the Scottish Region of the MPA.
The talk on the 1rst of november was really good to do.
Lots of positive feedback.
I thank also Loxley Colour for taking care of all of us.
The cooperation in the 'bookmarks' idea I did might work out as a new
marketing tool.
Maybe an extra in terms of a free crazy-face image is also part of a new marketing
strategy.

Also to let you all know I was feeling welcome and saw many 'open minded' faces.
Willing to change the industry of professional photography.
Willing to change MPA into a more interactive instrument.
Merchandising MPA as a professional must for customers.
Also the new ideas for the magazine:
- unannounced website-visits and discussion/report by a webdesigner and professional
photographer.
– “doctor” Henk answers questions about problems in the industry, personal marketing in the
photostudio, lighting problems, sales etc etc etc
– New Competition Ideas:
Best Crazy Face of the Year (sposored by toy-industry)
Most Erotic Portrait of the Year (sponsored by PlayBoy magazine)
Love at first Bite (Wedding, Sponsored by MacDonalds)

Lots of support in these is very important.
We need to have the MPA as an instrument that is known by all photographers, but ALSO by all customers.

I will try to be back in January-february to do print-critique, and to do a masterclass/workshop.
This will be coordinated by Seppi.
Even possible to arrange a visit and masterclasses in my studio!!!!!


Lets make our new Slogan for MPA working:

We Are ….....
Professionals
Masters of Light
Emotion
Moving


All the Best and hope to see you all soon,

Henk van Kooten
