Short Report of a Day at the Set

All models, props, requisites and lots of water are settled near the quai of Veere. 

The sailing event of the historic fishing boats - Van-Loon-Hardzeildag - has not yet begun. 

It is going to be a hot day, 33° C (or 91,4° F) , and there is hardly any wind. 

We are going to have a fotoshoot of the knitted fishermen's jumpers of Zeeland, made of... wool! 

In some cases even knitted of wool from Iceland, which has got a wonderful insulating quality...

And we are happy to have Louis Drent of Louis Drent Fotografie as our professional photographer,

to whom I am happy to function as a personal assistant, "prop manager" and "carrier of the light" :-)  

on a day like this. 

There is not much time and opportunity for me to take photo's, but here are a few impressions: 

Concentration.

Silence at the set.

Briefing of the models.

And after the shot: as quickly as possible get rid of any unnecessary clothes!

Big compliment to the girl in the traditional dress of Arnemuiden,

who wears an underskirt, a black woollen skirt and a big apron...  :-) 

In the meantime the sailing competition has begun. 

Still, hardly a breeze...

Hours later:

the final set... no Dutch theme without a "fiets" (a bicycle),

but to get it right you have to practice... 

and practice again...

and again...

before you put on the jumpers! 

And I guess I have to practice, practice again, and again to get this photo anywhere near "right"

:-) 

perfect imperfection!
