Making time for personal work. Shooting M. Part I.

Posted on by tom leuntjens

Those following me on instagram might have noticed I’ve been playing around a bit more lately. Call it experimenting if you want. To me it feels like I found my “mojo” back! In 8 years of photography I’ve never just shot with ONE girl model before. I’ve have no idea how to “direct” and I made that clear to M. My idea was to just shoot some natural light portraits in my living room. Periods of harsh sunlight changed out for periods with nice clouds. Happy with the results. Thank you M. for the trust!

Gear:
Fujifilm X-PRO2/XF35mm1.4 & X-T1/XF90

I didn’t really plan for the next 3 images , and I’m not even sure how we got from shooting the above type of images to smokebombs and Sanseverias. I guess the lesson here is to improvise and go with the flow. Fact is that these images probably triggered the idea for Part II.

If you like my work, feel free to follow me on instagram so we can stay in touch.

Marcels Moestuin – A Father & Son camping night.

Posted on by tom leuntjens

People often ask how we both manage 2 jobs and family life. (Passion?) Everybody has to find a balance between work & family that works for them. And once and a while, you have to unwind. That is exactly what I did last weekend. Me and my oldest son Bent went on a one day camping trip organized by Marcels Moestuin. Quality time! The event was aimed towards fathers & toddlers (Kampeeravondje voor vaders met kleuters). A simple idea, a flawless execution, great people, delicious Haute dogs and a perfect summer night. On to our next adventure.

I brought one camera and one lens and snapped some pictures. (Fujifilm XPRO2/XF23)

Trouwshoot in de Lommelse Sahara // After wedding session

Posted on by tom leuntjens

Digging in the archive & updating my portfolio I came across this unblogged session from a couple of years back. I can’t believe I didn’t do anything with these yet.

There are a couple or reasons why you would want to have your wedding session pictures taken after the wedding.

  • You don’t want to stress on your wedding about about the “available time” for pictures.
  • You don’t want to be away from the guests too long
  • You want that unique locations
  • You want to pick out perfect weather & conditions
  • There is more time for pictures
  • You want your pictures to be awesome!
