Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of taking pictures at a local festival in Oostkamp: Parkpop. A hot summer day, great crowd, lots of them anyway, perfect lighting with sufficient front light (cheers Geerolf ;), plenty of beer, and of course some great gigs! The shows of Hadise and Les Truttes were the most [...]

Earlier this month, on a warm lazy Saturday, I was sitting idle in the flowery garden. Tired of reading books, I decided to setup a little studio under the walnut tree and shoot some water drops. The idea is very simple: hang a bag of water above a filled basin, and make a tiny hole [...]

Over a month ago, I’ve bought myself a new camera body for my birthday: a Canon EOS 50D. Though my previous one, an EOS 400D, is still functional, after two years, I was outgrowing its limits somewhat. The new one really is an upgrade. It’s bigger and as such more comfortable to hold. The larger [...]

The Next Big Thing, Keremos‘ showcase of talented young bands, is touring through Flanders and last Friday they’ve ended up at the Cactusclub @ MaZ. As this venue is virtually next door to me, I went to shoot some pictures for Indiestyle. Only three bands this time: Roadburg, The Galacticos and Steak Number Eight as [...]

Last week, I was at Vooruit in Ghent to shoot Arsenal for Indiestyle. Only one little spark was necessary to set fire to the sold out venue, keeping outside the cold rainy night. And quite a party it was with hits like Estupendo, Lotuk, Saudade and A Volta. Arsenal had invited several guests who colaborated [...]

Last Sunday night, I was at the Cactus Club @ MaZ to shoot The Sedan Vault and Madensuyu for Indiestyle.be. Neither band I’ve heard of before, except for Madensuyu’s appearance on LUX, but I was pleasantly surprised. Every fragment that was able to enter my consciousness I fully enjoyed. Pure explosions of clever experimental Belgian [...]

Two weeks ago, I reported on the first three bands that hit the stage on The Next Big Thing showcase night by Keremos. So that means you still have three more left. For these bands, I replaced the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 lens by my wide-angle zoom EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM. Though two stops slower, [...]

Last month, I went to The Next Big Thing at Trix, a showcase night presented by Keremos. Six promising young bands on the rise populated the bill: The Galacticos, Arquettes, Steak Number Eight, Team William, Kawada and Roadburg. That much good on one night was a perfect opportunity to go and shoot some pictures. For [...]

After the After All gig, I rode back with Piet Focroul to Du Gaz in Bruges, where Dollarqueen was giving a show: a fairly new band but with experienced musicians, pure rock ‘n roll with a touch of blues and a hint of The Doors. Their songs just get stuck in your head (my personal [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I accompanied After All to a gig for the second time, , . And just like the previous time, it was a great experience. The venue was JC Togenblik in Beveren-Waas, Belgium of course, where the fifth edition of the Blikfest metal festival was organized. I didn’t see much of [...]
