A night with Henk van Kooten

What an Awesome class! On March 25th, Pictureline sponsored this class and our hosts were Kenneth and Marylyn Linge. I love you guys :)
The emphasis on the class was "how to create your own creativity." Henk has not been big on organizing or structuring his photography. He has always concentrated on the art of photography. But about a year ago he decided to get structured and begin to tell his story. Henk has put together a DVD and book titled "One day with Henk van Kooten."
The DVD & book talk about the "10 point system." Check it out. Henk is a great artist and his work is very unique and different. Something he does with each person he shoots is, facial analysis. Henk can look at a person and tell where they belong in the picture and allot about their personality just by their facial language. He broke down several of his images and described why each person was in their specific location and why he placed them there. It was amazing. I think we subconsciously do that but I'm going to consciously implement that in my shoots. Drake Busath talked a little bit about this last year at a class he was teaching. Henks work speaks for itself, go check out his site.
