whilst the sun was doing it’s best last friday i was in a studio with a whole group of dancers and photographer ‘erwin olaf’ making the season image for the dutch national ballet
erwin keeps a very tight leash on his productions and with so many people in the studio and hanging around the set, there isn’t a very high involvement factor for the art director, still it was good to watch erwin at work again and we should have an image ready within the coming two weeks…
the dancers were all very well behaved and we all left much earlier than planned, surprising as group portraits are usually a nightmare to coordinate, the image will be black & white which is the chosen style for the coming season… more news soon
apparently a lot of people fell for this fairly elaborate april fool’s hoax: the ‘re-35’ digital catridge
The RE-35 cartridge replaces the film in your classic analog 35-mm camera. Set the ISO to 400 and your done – your camera will now take high quality digital pictures.
i suppose the trick with these kinds of jokes is to say something that people really wish were true and then they want to believe it easily too… (tip via ‘sami’)
say hello to me studio’s latest addition ‘polina medvedeva’, who will be working alongside me as our new intern during the coming period… she is currently studying graphic design at the ‘HKU’ art school in utrecht and the timing couldn’t have been better, we have a huge amount of work and some interesting projects ahead of us in the coming weeks, so welcome ‘polina’ and have fun :)
