I have had a lot of fun with this blog but maybe it's time to say goodbye to my weblog and go back to what it is all about! A photographers website with more photo's than words. Sounds logical doesn't it?
I have not yet decided to dump my blog completely but for now if you want to check on me or my work go to HAL158 Fotografie & Film and enjoy photography!
Last week I have been busy 'unboxing' my studio. I do not want to overfill this studio like I overfilled the previous ones. But I do 'need' a lot of 'things' in my studio simply because I have to be able to create all kinds of atmospheres in my photography. I'm not quite there yet but is really getting close to perfection and I have never been happier leaving my old studio behind! This is really it!
White walls, grey floor, empty space ... let's move in!
This is it! Welcome to my new Studio! I am a happy man and can't wait to get my stuff together and move over to this beautiful 'lofty' studio. I am already in love with the daylight possibilities and the whole atmosphere in this former Nestle factory will no doubt give new inspiration and spirit!
I'll keep you posted on my progress, moving date is planned around the 20th of June!
Things are getting a bit 'out of hand' lately...
My studio has been eaten by a club, they allready ate away my kitchen and now my hall and loading dock are next! Behind this camouflage is my studio, still going strong by the way, but no worries. I found a very nice place to move to, nothing signed jet but hopefully this won't be long. I will keep you posted!
Behind this wall used to be my kitchen!
There has been going on a lot the last months around my studio... I was surprised to find out that I'm finally getting neighbours! But the surprise kept getting bigger and bigger! My new neighbours are Perron 0 and the're rebuilding the whole groundfloor including my loading dock, hallway and toilets into 'the biggest popstage' of Rotterdam. And my kitchen was also part of that plan...
An arrangement was made and my studio is now approx. 40m2 smaller. Despite the 'arrangement' I can tell you that I'm not happy and 'desperately' seeking a new place to continue my business! There are some new options at hand but I have not decided yet.
I have been neglecting my weblog for about half a year now and I'm sorry for that. I have been working like mad! New photography for Tefal Actifry, Leerdammer, Boursin, Zeelandia, The Greenery and so on. As soon as I can I will post some new work, but for now it's just this stupid wall...
To finish off this update-frenzy, let's talk fish! How would you like your fish today? For the 'Visgilde' (a Dutch fish specialists organisation) we shot again a lot of variations of fish and best way's to cook a good meal.
Herring, or as we call them in Holland: Hollandse Nieuwe' eaten raw held by the tail, with or without chopped onions.
But if raw fish is too much for you(don't eat sushi either then...) put them on your BBQ! Most fish can be grilled this way. And accompanied by the right wine, no punishment at all!
But is that is to much of a hassle, just poach your lovely piece of whitefish and serve it with some sugar pea's and spinage. Bon appetit!
'Vins 'd Alsace' another new account. And again a lot of new recipe's, posted on a promotional website, but this time together with the right wine to get the perfect taste-experience!
It's all about eating the right food with the right wines like, Pinot-Blanc, Pinot-Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling and the Cremant bubbly white wine!
Man, I love my job!
Got some catchin' up to do! For Arla we made a bunch of new recipe's to encourage people to do more with their 'feta-cheese' than just throw them in your salad! Here are some suggestions, and if you want more check out their website.
I have been quiet for too long, so it's about time to update my blog. I have been quite busy through the summer but didn't take the time to expose my work here. So there we go! As you know by now most of my work is food-photography or food related. I've aquired some new clients and we did a lot of recipe shots.
Tonight at 22.15 NED 2. Nova is reporting on the former CEO of Port of Rotterdam, W.K. Scholten.
08-28-2009 City of Rotterdam and Port Authority report suspected bribery involving former CEO.
On 25 August 2009, the City of Rotterdam and the Port of Rotterdam Authority laid an information against former CEO W.K. Scholten and J.A.J. van den Nieuwenhuijzen. The suspicion is that Scholten, as an official, was bribed by Van den Nieuwenhuijzen.
To spice up this report I was asked by NOVA-tv to share the footage I made of the flaggschip of Port of Rotterdam, the Nieuwe Maze two years ago on my 'Safety film' assignment for Port of Rotterdam.
It has taken quite some time and I don't want to start telling you about all the frustrations it has taken but finally it is there... www.hal158.com The website I was looking for! Powered by Photoshelter, Plain and simple, showing my photography and if you want all the talk that goes with it you can click 'blog' and there you are, back here on my weblog!
All my work is delivered in HiRes to my clients through this website where they can log into the client area and start downloading my work. The only downside so far is the fact that I can not show my films yet... Maybe in the near future. I'm still selecting new work to spice up this new website so have fun and keep checking in to look for new work.
Update: as from today you can type hal158.com or hal158.nl and you will end up on the same website.
Last month Tefal came back to me for more 'low-fat-cooking' photography in their Tefal Actifry. And again I have to admit, the Actifry is surprisingly simple...
Jamie Oliver is alway 'whacking things in the oven', well it's almost the same here, just 'whack it into the Actrifry' and leave it there for 15 to 20 minutes and you are done... well... almost.
We made quite a lot of new photos which will be printed recipe-cards and can be ordered through the Tefal website
We're all leaving the zero-years behind and entering our teenages (again)... The first decennial of this magic millennium went by too(?) fast. Still, a lot happened the past years. Photography changed a lot to name one... The world changed a lot too and now we are living our own Science Fiction barely realizing that we've entered the year 2010!
Therefore I'll treat you with this 'old and new' recipe. The 21st century rucola-shrimps-stew, old and tested recipe with a twist!
Happy New Year to you all!
Being busy can have it's disadvantages... like not having/making time to update your weblog. I'm busy in several places at this moment. I'm quite exited about the new cookbook I made for the French Creamcheese 'Boursin', it's called 'Bijzonder Boursin' which stands for something like "Particularly Boursin". The introduction was about two weeks ago in Amsterdam combined with a wine-tasting session and a cooking your favorite Boursin-recipe workshop.
At the same time I was driving around the Netherlands for three days on a mission for a new film project which will release around x-mas, so more on that later. And to make my CO2 footstep a little bit bigger I drove to a softfruit grower (raspberries, blackberries and red currants) near Utrecht, a leeks grower in Limburg, and a bok choy grower near Rotterdam.
And right now I'm busy to get my website the way I want it to be... which is more work than I hoped it would be. As soon as it's ready I'll post it here of course!
