Red Cathedral

Right before my surgery we filmed a fire Masterclass-video for Sony where Bruno Maes, an fire-images-expert, explains how to capture fire on video. ( broadcast & live Q&A on April 27th via: Sony Benelux Digital Imaging Webinars on Zoom . Afterwards it will be available on the Sony Alpha Academy. )  It were 2 very exciting days shooting.. since the team got to burn things. Evidently there had to be some pictures made. ( They're on Flickr as always) And how could there not be any behind the scenes videos: 1. Fireworks: clapperapp.com/video/7G1Ovb0Xd5gz85KB?is_invite=1&r=D... 2. The gear: clapperapp.com/video/Z2jGzE76LLVvWXnB?is_invite=1&r=D... 3. Steelwooling in the snow: clapperapp.com/video/BkRYp339ZkLp1ArO?is_invite=1&r=D... 4.

Hellfire: newsclapper.com/video/QZyMvBX4GARzB10q?r=Do9bQkBx6w 7. Steelwool

 Even after a few years of steelwoolspinning in several places, this spin remains one of my favorites. If you know a nice urbex location that would be perfect for some firespinpictures, then don't hesitate to contact me. And the same goes for models who aren't affraid to pose amongst the firesparks. More fire for all pyrojunkies on Flickr

 There was snow and a church, so we made a photo of Fire & Ice. On this 1st image I added a bit of fantasy atmosphere. Subtle enough? There's a video with a look behind the scenes. Evidently there is more on Flickr Or do you prefer the Instagram version ? _____________________ Reading between the lines (aka Het Doorkijkkerkje van Borgloon ) is an artwork by the architect duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh _____________________ Explaining the title : Burning Churches by Me and that Man That night I saw the flames flicker on the television set The vicar's tears fell as he faced the camera men And my mother grabbed her crucifix And drew in her breath It's suspected arson the newsreader said My life was reborn into that incendiary darkness It brought to mind the great writers of satanic verses From that truth my eyes glowed with unholy illumination From the matchstick spark until the final glowing embers I'm called by the light Of burning churches Saved by the li
