Autoportaits in the studio

By Yann Graf

It’s been a while since I hadn’t done a Creative Wednesday. I was too busy with building my consultancy. But yesterday I spend the whole day experimenting with photography in my studio, actually my living in room.

Since no models were available (I didn’t even ask) and my profile picture is 6 years old (!!!!) : I had my subject. I experimented with strobes, reflectors, background and shaving foam. While doing the retouching I learnt quite some new trick in Photoshop.

These are the only 3 pictures (on 270) which passed the selection.

First photowalk in Amsterdam

By Yann Graf

I spent a few hours wandering around in Amsterdam with my camera for the first time. You will find the best shots on 500px.

Project: Adams & Eves of Amsterdam

By Yann Graf

Hey, I had this idea while riding my bike the other day. Let’s see where we end with this. Let me quickly explain the concept and how you can help.

The concept

First, you post (in the comments below) questions you would like to ask to people living here in Amsterdam. Don’t be shy.
Then, you help me find people here in Amsterdam who would be ok to respond to them in video. And are ok to be published on this blog. Let them contact me via the contact form or Facebook.
After this. I meet these people, and they pick randomly 3 questions and answer them in front of my camera.
Finally, the small 1-2 minute video gets posted here!

It’s as simple as this. So, where are your questions? What would you like to now about A’dam? It’s inhabitants? Free you mind!

Brasileiros – Smiling portraits

By Yann Graf

This is the monday “arty” post! During my stay in Brazil in 2005, I got the opportunity to shoot the portrait of almost everyone I was somehow connected with. I used an old Minolta camera, the settings were not perfect, so I had to change the luminosity quite a lot afterwards. But the most important is here: the smiles!
