The barbarian after the fairs

This is by far the busiest period since last october (mostly events+fairs for work & for fun) so I'm running behind with the processing of pictures & videos once again. Still.. if you can go out on a wonderful Spring day and dress a model like a fantasy barbarian, then you should do it without hesitation.

Cleaning his blade after a weekend of hunting at Elfia

It will take a while before I get to processing more shots from this shoot, luckily model Kristof & MUA B are patient persons.

Results will be on Flickr.
Behind the scene videos is on Clapper..
Maybe something on Instagram?

You won't see him until you're within reach of his blade

The tickets for Castlefest have been purchased, we're hesitating over Elftopia & Elfia Arcen. What else might be interesting?


This reminds me that I should urgently get some more images done from Pairi Daiza & the O-Parade.

Namaste.

Event - De Quaeye Werelt (2025)

Afbeelding
1477 was een belangrijk jaar voor België en de Bourgondische Nederlanden. Na de dood van hertog Karel de Stoute, ook bekend als  Charles Le Téméraire,  in de slag bij Nancy, erfde zijn dochter Maria van Bourgondië het hertogdom. Dit leidde tot de Bourgondische Successieoorlog, een conflict tussen Frankrijk en het Huis Habsburg om de verdeling van de Bourgondische erflanden. En precies in deze context speelt zicht het grote kampement van de Quaeye Werelt af, inclusief een veldslag tussen de Bourgondische troepen en Antwerpse opstandelingen.

Event - Casanova Danst in Alden Biesen

Afbeelding
Ook in 2025 organiseerde de Landcommanderij Alden Biesen een gemaskerd bal. Ditmaal stond de Soirée Masquée helemaal in het teken van Giacomo Casanova en de Rococo . Denk aan krullende pruiken, kniekousen, baljurken die bigger than life zijn en al die aandacht voor details waar de adel uit 1750 voor bekend stond. En geloof me vrij: sommige kostuums en looks waren adembenemend.

Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns (DS)

Afbeelding
MEET SOME CHARACTERS 1. Izuna:Yep, that’s me! I am such a sexy kunoichi. Look at my deep green eyes, my full bodied figure and- Oh, you wanted to hear about my personality? Well, I’m the main character of this little show. People say I’m lazy, self-centered, and that I have no common sense. You know what though? They’re just jealous of my star power. 2. Gen-An:We call him “Grandboss,” because he’s pretty much our boss and our only family. In fact, we’d follow him to the end of the world in search of a place where he can settle down. Last time... that didn’t work out so well, but we’ll keep looking. I know you’re tired Grandboss, don’t worry... 11. Shino:This is my best friend, Shino. I call her Shino-Sis, because she treats me more like a younger sister than a friend. But she actually has a real sister who got separated from her a long time ago. Even though her expression doesn’t change much, she burns with fiery passion on the inside. I’m sure of it! 12. Mitsumoto:Oh... him. He’s the ...

Event - Elftopia 2021

Afbeelding
The 1st costume event in.. nearly 2 years? You can't believe the ecstasy of opening those tickets in the mail, getting that CovidSafePass in time and hearing that it would not get cancelled as feared ( unlike Castlefest ). Preparing the cameras. Getting ideas for shots. Actually smiling. Thank you Elftopia . However there was a little hick-up. I could blame it on traffic jams making us arrive extremely late.. but it wasn't that. It was exactly as feared and predicted in this post : I didn't dare to make photos. Have I gotten scared of walking up to people for a picture? Have I lost so much self-confidence? Did I stop trusting my technical instincts? Did I start doubting my gear? Haven't I talked to live strangers for that long? Is this what people call a panic attack or anxiety? I guess a bit of all of those. Meade helped a bit. Spending some time on the event finally got me clicking again.. but by that time the fair was closing its gates. So I returned home with on...

Event - Vapeur et Contes de Fées III (2025)

Afbeelding
On the highway to Tournai we witnessed a scene from a nightmare: a brave mother duck guided a flock of tiny, fluffy ducklings onto the highway, clearly wanting to cross while cars thundered past at +120kms/h. Nothing, no screeching monster, no hungry Orc, no demon from the fiery realms, could frighten us more than the fear of that mother duck pressing on, instead of leading her ducklings back to safety. " Why drive to Tournai, the complete other side of the country, " you ask? Because it was the 3rd edition of a humble renaissance fair who's 1st edition dates back to 2017.. and there were Orcs, monsters and demons.. Besides: we recently drove to Roeselare for some burlesque fun .. so why not to Tournai? Let's show you some pictures & annoy you with a review, but 1st of all; have some links. ▷ All photos can always be found on/downloaded from my Flickr and here ! ▷ A " How to download stills from Flickr " tutorial was posted here . ▷ Some highlig...

Event - Carnevale di Venezia in Bruges

Afbeelding
Every February Bruges may officially name itself The Venice of the North for another reason than the Reien (= city canals ) & the bowbridges who vaguely resemble the sinking Italian city-state. For one day the masked elegance of the carnaval parade takes over the streets. Not a carnaval like it is usually celebrated in the Lowlands, but a Venetian style citywalk. Is it pretty to behold? Absolutely. On top of that, this year the weather changed into a bright sunny weekend after 14 months of gloom & rain. Even better! Still this might have been my last visit to the event because it has become simply too crowded with dozens of photographers, entire photoclubs & a tenfold thereof in pushy cellphonographers. So I shot only a few stills, am - as usual - only satisfied by a handful - but that's typically me - and had that crazy Geert not stopped me, I would have walked away after only 1/3rd of those shots. So yes, the introvert part of my abivert personality is getting...
