I’m not exactly a regular Blogger! … Some while ago I did my third Workshop with Damien Lovegrove and Martin Hill. Damien had secured the services of the wonderful Vicky Waghorn to do the make up for our two models for the day. The location was Kingscote House Gloucestershire. As delegates we were guided in how to read and use the light that was available on location, and also how to add light to enhance the photo. We shot a variety of locations, to create a selection of frames using Natural, Speedlight, Broncolor and also continuous light from a 1200w Lupo.
Double Speedlights were used to give Rhi punch and to highlight the dress.
A powerful stance and the beautiful sky give this frame the Wow factor
By now we had moved on to using the bigger more powerful Broncolor gear.
Next we moved inside to shoot some natural light frames just using the light from a single window. Katy was such a star for the day. A delight to work with.
We were shown that the un-lit areas of the frame are just as important as the lit areas.
Back outside and using speedlights
We finished off the day using the Lupo1200 on the stairs. Damien can construct a photo from the dullest of locations and give it a real punch.
My next training day is booked with Marko. I’m not ready for this yet, before I go I need to explore the world of Photoshop so that I have some idea what it is about!
