I’m finished school for this year! Well, actually, school is out forever! When this holiday is over (at the end of August), I’m starting my internship that takes five months. I’ll be busy writing my thesis after the internship, so I will barely be on the inside of the school building any more. Only one more year. Hooray!
The last six months were great. Busy, but great. To be honest, I didn’t think I would learn a lot, since I knew I would probably have more experience with stuff (especially photography) than my classmates. But that wasn’t really an issue. I focussed on myself and achieving my own goals. It paid off and learned a lot in the end.
The photo above is one of the photos I took of classmate Marjolein. She persuaded our photography teacher to let us use his studio at the end of the minor to make some photographs. Being a nice guy as he is, he cooperated immediately :)
More after the jump!

This is my fourth school assignment. The theme of this assignment is ‘fear’.
Rather than capturing facial expressions of fear, I chose a more poetic, more consequential approach. I decided to photograph our annual Remembrance Day.
Most wars are based on an underlying sense of fear. As a consequence of Hitlers fears about 70 years ago, we’re still honouring our fallen on the 4th of may.
I hope you like it. Any feedback is, as usual, much appreciated!

We’ve had a couple of regular classes in the photo studio of my teacher, (located right around the corner of school) but this time was different. We got to play with his studio equipment for a couple of hours, which was my first time.
I do own (and use) some Strobist stuff, but I was really looking forward to using a good softbox. It’s a lot easier to place the light(s) the way you want to because of the modeling light. Plus the recycle time of those things is amazing.
Anyway, my classmate Marjolein arranged her friend (and model) Lori to be our victim. Thanks again to the both of you!
I’m pretty satisfied with the results. It’s not really my kind of photography, although I’m not sure what is, but it was fun to do. My favourite photo is the one on the top, which is unfortunately a bit blurry.
There are two more photos after the jump!

This is my third assignment. The theme my teacher came up with is ‘out’, in its broadest definition.
I really struggled with my own interpretation of this theme. Eventually, I chose to photograph desolate places when the lights are out and the sun is set. To add another layer to the theme, I ‘singled out’ the subjects with my external flash (Canon 580EX II).
I used shutterspeeds varying from 90 to 180 seconds. When the curtain was open, I moved around and popped the flash a couple of timed by pressing the test-fire button. Oh, and I used a flash gel to make the light a bit warmer.
It was cold (-10 degrees celcius) and at times spooky, but I’m really pleased with the result. Especially since this is my first time using this technique.
