Some more news

What have I been up to lately? Well, quiet a lot really :-)

You may have allready noticed, but I changed my logo (yes, that's it above :-). This logo will now be used in all my communication and publicity, creating a stronger brand for "Kris Jacobs Photography". I have also put this logo on my car, so people will know who that crazy driver is ;-)

I made another trip, to Morocco this time, and took my Canon S 90 compact camera (instead of my usual fullframe Nikon D3), trying to prove this type of camera allso allows you to make great images without the hassle and weight of a big camera. Here are some results :

Furthermore, I invested in a Epson Stylus Photo R2880 A3+ printer, allowing me to make fantastic prints right here in my office

Will be back with more news soon!

investing in light

Always growing and moving ahead, I decided to invest in some extra flashguns.

I had a Nikon SB 600 and a SB 900, which are fine. But I started to feel the need for more flashes to be abled to get more control over the light in all circumstances. Now I bought two extra SB 900’s. They re just excellent quality and easy to move around on location.

If you think flash always kills atmosphere and leads to horrid stark pictures, you’re missing out on a whole world of stunning photography that flashguns can bring.

Lifting a lifeless portrait, filling in shadows from harsh sunlight or even creating dramatic colourful scenes, getting to grips with flash can transform your photos. Here are a few images I made of with off flash camera :
