Orfeo photo shoot report!
At the John Geven Studio's!
On a bright day somewhere last week we left very early in the morning for the John Geven Studio's (www.johngevenstudios.nl) in Nuenen. With two new band members in the band we were really ready for a new band picture! John is a old friend of ours: six years ago he took the first Orfeo band picture in an improvised studio behind a small shop. We took a lot of Guinness with us for the photo. This was for a photo report of Folkwoods festival people and our picture was indeed displayed at the festival next year. Almost two years ago John also made the band pictures for our first album 'Inferno'.
John is besides a top photographer also a very nice man and has a special background. After a diving accident he ended up in a wheel chair. Years later, when he decided he wanted to get into photography, a from a distance controllable photo studio was build for him with the help of the students of the Technical University of Eindhoven. Since then John has settled himself between the big photographers in Holland, does photo shoots for international companies, has 3 photographers working for him and has a huge studio on his name. An impressive career indeed!
At our arrival we look at a gigantic building with flashy letters saying: John Geven Studio's. In a big visagist room we look around flabbergasted and then we begin the game with tops, make-up, hair and shoes, while the guys check out photos of female models. After a joyful reunion with John and the introduction of our new band members we begin shooting and John does something with lights, measurements and computers and he has lot of inspiring ideas. After a whole afternoon we are ready and we leave for home with a smile on our faces to celebrate this successful day in the pub.
Right now we are looking at the raw material and we have to select the best pictures. A photo report of our day is in our photo gallery. And soon of course… the presentation of our new pictures! Keep an eye on our website. And: a very big thank you to John!!!!
