The Industrial Designer
Recently, I retrieved a huge stack of old drawings I created years ago, which was the start of a new shoot, inspired by some older photos of Teun van den Dries. Reviving the memories of a previous working life as industrial design engineer, we organized a minishoot in our studio – The engineer.
Going over huge [...]
The Bicycle theft
Another minishoot after our trip to the supermarket. Breaking the lock of a bicycle using a grinding machine. Another quick exersise using a speed light and slow shutter speeds. All intended at preparing for bigger events. (No, won’t go into specifics, now. Guess you’ll have to stay tuned, or subscribe to our RSS feed!)
Daily groceries
Its something we face rather frequently: Shopping for groceries… Plenty of choice in a supermarket
Originally arranged as a training session, and predominantly a learning experience, we aimed at perfecting our skills to get things right in-camera. Using a deliberate shallow Depth of field, various zoom techniques, and as combination of a fill flash, [...]
Soccer fans – UPDATED!
Sometimes you loose, sometimes, you win, but the tension during the game remains the same. With the Olympics just behind us, it’s time to prepare for the Soccer World Championships in South-Africa.
More images after the read more link. A lot more images have been added, and we expect to have more news about the availability [...]
The Dairy Farm
Constantly looking for new opportunities and locations for a shoot, we ended up at a modern dairy farm “Boerderij de Kasteelhoeve“, where we were generously welcomed by Leo and Marjo Duivenvoorden, who showed us around their modern and state of the art premisis. Although we’re still processing the images, I thought I’d already share a [...]
A place by the fire
This time of year, people gather around for the holidays. Cozy, snug and comfortable, around the fireplace. And we’ve reserved a spot for you! As winter lasts longer than Christmas alone, we left out the tree and decorations. January, February and March may also turn out to be cold in the Northern Hemisphere – something [...]
The Darkroom
For this shoot we wanted to go back to the roots of photography, and decided to go retro. So we unpacked all the old photography equipment of Hugo’s and got into the studio.
Enjoy our darkroom shoot!
The Chemist
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
Well into spring we decided to move back into the studio once more to take some pictures of our very own Hugo as a crazy chemist. As this topic is very much a ‘do not try this at home’ one we decided to take the necessary precautions while doing them [...]
And the winner is….
We’ve just crossed the finish line of our Cliche shoot annex experiment. We’re proud to announce the winner of our competition. However, due to a rather busy time, a full report on our proceedings will have to wait…
Thanks for your patience!
A day at the beach
Quite unplanned, we got to spend a beautiful autumn afternoon at the beach, in the company of three very relaxed models. It all added up, resulting in quite a few cool images, and lots more to follow! This setting calls for more, all we have to do now is hope for a bit of luck [...]
New type of use for corepics images
A new type of use for our images: Motion. In a short You Tube film, a few of our images from the cliché shoot were used in a rather expressive way. See the film here. Kind of gloomy and depressing, but cool!
The Cliché competition – the first 10 days
With roughly 10 days into our cliché competition, its about time for a short update on how we’re doing.
The task we set ourselves:
Despite the general consensus that shooting cliches for microstock (more info after the read more link) isn’t the most sensible thing to do, we set ourselves the challenge to come up with some [...]
Don’t shoot clichés? We did…
Shooting clichés is considered to be out of bounds. Numerous blogs, forums and other websites providing tips for stock photographers, discuss this taboo on clichés. The evidence is out there – the stock sites, a PicNiche article, on Mystockphoto and the microstockdiaries views on Clichés. There’s even a website containing the 101 most frowned upon [...]
Sunday Brunch – part 2
As some sites have already begun to blog about New Years Eve, Corepics wouldn’t be Corepics if we couldn’t top that. So, here you go, moving forwards to Valentines day 2010 – a short update on our Sunday Brunch series, with more photos added to the gallery. Have fun!
University life down under
Having just returned from his stay down under, Maurits treated us with gifts and presents – the raw material of his shoot back in June. It’s the kind of gift that required quite a bit of effort on the part of the receivers, but the results are well worth the effort.
Already available on Fotolia, and [...]
Sunday Brunch
Nothing beats a sunday moring brunch. Well, almost nothing, that is. Last week, we had Sharon over for a nice and cosy breakfast. But before this romantic get-together could start, we first had to get ready.
The shoot itself was – thanks to a very thorough preparation, but more importantly, thanks to Sharon, extremely productive. It’s [...]
On the road
Its’ summer. Business tends to be more quiet than usual, and we’re also taking things leisurely, these days. People are away on vacation, traveling to sunny places. As I’ve just read on nu.nl, this year, there seems to be more people experiencing car trouble than before. A coincidence? We don’t think so.
Last week, when everybody [...]
The Muay Thai Fighter
Jurriaan has been participating in quite a number of our shoots, and it’s about time we let him speak and keep our promise to show more of the Muay Thai series Bas took.
The setting: A basement, where Jurriaan trains on a regualar basis, with Bas behind the camera during a one-man and model production.
The background: [...]
Office shoot – the sequel
Of our weekly minishoots, we can conclude beyond reasonable doubt, that “The Office” is by far the most in demand. In a revamped 36clicks headquarters, we invited Roosje Kay van Veen to help us out for a retake of of a not-so classic business setting. As usual, various different themes were staged, resulting in a [...]
The Musician
This weeks mini-shoot evolved around music. As a try-out for something bigger, we invited Crazy Gary to our studio, to jam away on his saxophone and guitar while we worked the camera and lighting.
Corepics goes green
On 17 february, corepics went green. Shooting inside a glasshouse is a rather challenging task, given the huge difference in light temperature between the tungsten lights and daylight. With special thanks to our host, we would like to give you a small preview of what to expect to be available for sale within the next [...]
