Babyfoto's - Babyfotografie - Babyshoot

It's a fact, this weekend I had my first baby photoshoot!
Anyone who knows me a little, knows that I prefer baby animals above baby humans so it's safe to say that this was an exciting endeavour!
I got to discover that babies aren't that scary (at least, not this one...) I also got to discover that it takes an awful lot of patience, and waiting for the baby to be in the right mood. Luckily, patience and waiting are a few of my fortés :)
 I also discovered that this particular baby was very fond of my golden reflection screen...a real little golddigger! *pun intended*

I myself was very jealous of his cute little bear jacket, does anyone know they come in full grown sizes?

Hope you enjoy these images! And if you're interested in a photoshoot yourself, don't hesitate to contact me through www.evakrebbers.nl  :)

Triggerfinger & Ruben Block

A little while ago I had the pleasure of photographing the concert of the amazing Belgian band Triggerfinger at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. After photographing some other bands I realised how photogenic this band is, as they give a hell of show, dance, jump around, rock, shake their booty, seduce and have a blast on stage. This absolutely reflects on camera.
Plus -and this is a very big plus- the lead vocalist and guitarist of Triggerfinger is the extremely charismatic Ruben Block.
Ladies and gentleman, I present you...TRIGGERFINGER!

How to: selfportrait for the Red Line project

Do you know the feeling when you have an idea in your mind, but you have absolutely no clue how to achieve it?
Well, yesterday I felt like that. And since the new year, my resolution has been not to let those feelings stop me; instead of going for the easy way out, changing the concept to something more simple, my resolution for this year is to start experimenting more thus trying to achieve even those impossible crazy -no-idea-where-to-begin-ideas.
For example: I've been meaning to join the Red Line project (http://didyousayeager.com/eager/en/redline) for a while.This is what it's about:

" Wouldn't it be cool to connect photographers all over the world? We think so. That's why we started this quest for the longest conceptual photo series ever!

The concept? A red line that connects us all in a graphical way, combined with our mutual love/hate feeling towards shooting a self-portrait. The red line forming an instrument to express yourself at that."

After contemplating for a while I came up with the idea of stitching the red line through my cheeks, in order to create a 'smile'. A tribute to The Joker from the Batman movies, and a 'f*ck you' to all those people always urging me -since childhood- to look more happy/smile more. ;)

But i had no idea how to create a realistic looking line actually being stitched through skin...(Also, I didn't have any red string, the closest was a pink embroidery thread so that would have to do).
My first attempt was to glue the thread onto my skin. Result: glue on camera, glue on hands, and having to move like a turtle to make the thread stay on my cheeks.
Well, in the end I ended up using parts of these images, but all of a sudden I thought about stitching the thread through paper, photographing that, and then digitally paste it over my skin. And it worked!
It did take me about the entire day though, but I am pretty happy about the more or less realistic result!

How to: een gemaskerd bal organiseren

Wat heb je nodig om een geweldig feest te geven?
1. Een goed idee
2. Een goede uitvoering

1. Het idee: een Gemaskerd Bal (of mooier: Balle Masqué), want mysterieus en een goed excuus om je in extravagante kleding te hijsen.
- Zorg voor uitnodigingen die de sfeer goed weergeven, liefst verzonden in mooie enveloppen met een lakzegel. " Find a marvelous costume and wear it well, so your identity no one can tell..."
- Kostuums werden soms zelf gemaakt (!), en soms gehuurd bij kostuumverhuur Hokus Pokus in Zeist (www.hokuspokus.nl)

- Locatie, locatie, locatie! In dit geval werd gebruik gemaakt van de Metaal Kathedraal (http://metaalkathedraal.wordpress.com/) in Utrecht, waarin een magisch mooie sprookjesachtige balzaal werd gecreëerd onder de eeuwenoude houten balken, compleet met hemelbedden en een heuse fotostudio met chaise longue (www.evakrebbers.nl)

2. Voor een goede uitvoering is het belangrijk dat alle details kloppen;
- Muziek: een goede mix voor een bal bestaat uit Weense Walsen, maar ook uit goede bombastische muziek zoals Muse. Later op de avond kan er overgegaan worden op 'normale' dansmuziek, want een bal zonder dans is geen bal!

- Eten: in dit geval was er de lievelingstaart van de gastvrouw, namelijk chocolade-cocos-taart. Kleine taartjes á la Marie-Antoinette doen het natuurlijk ook goed op een bal.
- Vaak kennen mensen op een feest elkaar niet (allemaal). Om de interactie te bevorderen werd er op dit bal het volgende ' spel' bedacht: bij de ingang stond een grabbelton met daarin papiertjes met opdrachten. Gasten konden een opdracht grabbelen en deze uitvoeren. De andere gasten moesten opletten of ze iemand een eventuele opdracht uit zagen voeren, en deze verdenking dan opschrijven en in een pot stoppen.

Voorbeelden van opdrachten: "Organiseer een stoelendans", "Zoek de verstopte bellenblaas en blaas bellen voor de jarige" en "teken een schoonheidsvlekje bij een van de genodigden".
- Vergeet niet om je feest vast te leggen! Bijvoorbeeld op deze manier:

Fashion show studioRUIG

Last friday the groovy Dutch designer label studioRUIG hosted a fashion show at the Dutch Design Week for their 2012 summer collection entitled 'Ronja'. The entire collection is based on the novel "Ronja Robbersdaughter" by Astrid Lindgren, and showed a beautiful palette of natural woodsy colours combined with daring and sturdy accessories.

The real Ronja

Since Ronja is one of my favourite (childhood) books/movies, I was very excited to be invited to photograph the show.
The theme of the collection was cleverly portrayed by a choir of robbers loudmouthedly chanting robbers' songs while the models entered the catwalk.
The catwalk existed out of a HUGE wooden table, along which dining VIP guests and roaring robbers were seated together. The models strutted their stuff on the table, carefully maneuvering between the roasts, groping robbers' hands and wild boars and pheasants (all dead, by the way).

Backstage it was pretty funny to notice the difference between the robbers (getting into character by drinking, smoking and swearing) and the models (getting their hair and make-up done, figuring out some last minute costume changes, and drinking mainly water).
