Street Style Series // August 2016

Last week my best friend Femke and I went to Nijmegen Oost to take some photo's.

This time I tried something different. I wanted to make some portraits where the background is extra blurry and I'm actually pretty happy with the results!

50 mm lens F 1.8

Portrait Series // Mike van Overbeek

A few months ago I really wanted to try and take some portrait photos, so I figured I'd just ask my brother if he wanted to be my model. It wasn't that hard to choose a location. I had this brick wall background in mind and so we went into town and took all the photos by the St. Stevenskerk in Nijmegen.

Equipment I used: Canon 600D and 50mm lens

WAKKER SS16 Fashion Show

Yesterday I attended the fashion show of the new collection from the Dutch brand WAKKER. Which is created by Jettie Wakker.  

When my friend and I arrived at the 512 concept store in Nijmegen around 19:30 we got to try these amazing homemade stroopwafels (in all these different flavours). So, while eating we took the chance to look around the store.

- First a little bit more about the 512 store. It's basically a concept store where they not only sell clothing accessories and plants, but it's also a tea bar. Which is such a great idea! - 

Later when the show was about to start, the creator Jettie told us that this whole collection was inspired by geometric shapes and that she was excited and nervous to show us the clothing.

I was very impressed by the brand! And as it comes to fashion, I love the monochrome style.

It looks so beautiful! 

This collection is now available in the 512 store.

Graffiti Series // March 2016

In the beginning of this year I decided to do some more projects for my photography portfolio.
So on a Saturday I met up with Sophie Wolf and Loes van der Heijden, who were my models for the day. I had this great location in mind, an awesome graffiti wall. Later as we decided to go into town to take some more pictures, we stumbled upon this black brick wall, which was a really cool contrast.
I'm quite pleased with the results and I already have some nice ideas for future projects.
