About LARP, and being on a roll!
Hi there,
First. Yay, thank you for your positive comments last time! It was amazing to read all your words!
Second. I noticed something. Now that I am not aiming for instagram, I seem to have way too much content! I spot myself adding bits and pieces to future newsletters every so many days, slowly constructing them over time. That is an amazing feel, thank you!
So, what's new?
I've been on a roll! I edited more from my shoots with Julia and Flora. Done shoots with Satiella, Ruby, Inez, Helena and Marie-Sophie. I helped Dani'el out with set dressing and sfx for a project of his, and last but not least I finished work on Sins of our Creators, a new vampire/cult larp set to run February 2026.
Highlight - Sins of our Creators
The world is tarnished. Broken souls wander aimlessly, lost in a maze of forgotten dreams and shattered hopes. But we? We are the future. We are evolving.
Most of you know I LARP. If not, now you do! It is an amazing creative outlet for me. Whether it is being a participant, or as part of the organization doing special effects and sounds, or as a photographer capturing all beautiful scenes of others - all fun! I will undoubtedly share more over time, but feel free to ask me anything if you are curious.
So, LARP! For Sins of our Creators I had the pleasure of crafting their promotional photos, aimed to feel like they would have been part of the event itself. A fun challenge, and I was happy to have an amazing team to work with!
Sins of our Creators is a new LARP about a vampiric cult, which happens to be only a few nights away from disaster. The concept and story are designed by Silhouette Society Immersive, and it is set to play in February 2026. Please do check their site to see more!
Missed the first newsletter?
Zero worries! I've added a newsletter updates section to my website. You can find all previous issues there.
Lastly, a question from me to you! What would you love to read? Short updates? Ramblings on photography and technology? More photos? Anything else? Please do feel free to leave some feedback here!
Thank you for reading,
Ork

I loved capturing various types of power dynamics for Sins of our Creators, and this is one of my favorite shots of the series!

Working with Marie-Sophie is always wonderful! Not only will she come up with great ideas, and then subsequently somehow manages to find all the necessary props, costumes and styling attributes, but also.. we create stuff that is totally different from my "regular" shots.
Check the set for all the odd plans we worked out!

First time studioshoot with rozierouge, and oof, that worked well! The shoot was loosely based on the "Ethereal Magic" moodboard I have had for a while, and have been trying to cast for, but for some reason never managed to do. Now we did! And Rosie managed to gather quite the few amazing pieces to add to the styling too!
For the lights I went full teal slash blue slash red. I wanted stark contrasts, without going full black shadows, and with lots of control on where the red light landed and did not land. This meant lots of small lights, lots of grid modifiers, and lots of directional lights. Not easy, and I am glad I got what I had in mind!

Ruby and I have been on-and-off planning to do a shoot, maybe someday, for years. Maybe even a decade. It just never happened. Then, just before the 14th of February, we found our moment!
A very traditional very valentine shoot! Happy to finally have worked with you!

Golden hour light. Typical Dutch polder landscape. Some chainmail. And foremost a quiet spot where we could capture this without disturbing anyone. All we needed.
Shot right after cyber in nature.
